Made our way further south for our intended destination for the weekend - Noosa. Geez it's busy compared to outback NT! After setting up we ventured in to Hastings Street to catchup with the Villani's (our neighbours from Barwon Heads). Unfortunately Paul too busy at work so it was only the girls. From the grins on all faces around I think all the girls had missed each other a little so we sat down in the throng of the main street with a vino to catchup on th...

Working our way down south again today. Decided to break the trip up with a night in Bundaberg, larger town than I thought. Can't visit Bundaberg without of a tour of the Bundaberg Rum Distillery. The brand new museum and tour was a great lesson in the history of the Bundeberg brand and processes (oh and the Bundeberg Mutiny Spiced Rum tester wasn't bad either). Key Stats KM's - 324; Steps - 4,595; Max Temperature - 25; Fish - 0 (total 20); Pokemon's -...

Our last day in Yeppoon. Late morning we walked into town, tide was well in so unfortunately couldn't walk all the way on the beach.

After lunch we had a tour of Shell World, an amazing collection of more than 20,000 shells from around the world. Then we ventured further down the coast to Emu Park, home to the Singing Ship, er...

Today is another special edition (it's not that special anymore) by Jack! This morning while dad had to work Poppy, Mum and I went to the Cooberie wildlife sanctuary. First we saw a white peacock and then we were greeted by a big lizard that had big spikes and big claws and big everything basically. After that we found ourselves in the free range area of the sanctuary. I was fine with the ducks and the goose but not the big kangas and the peacocks with there fe...

Another quiet day in Yeppoon enforced by the weather. Forecast was for 1-5mm in the morning, ended up with non stop rain and 32mm. Lots of reading and ipads for the day. A little drive for supplies and our favorite little seafood wholesaler then back to the van for some games. Pictionary was popular, although not sure there are any budding artists in the family as yet. Prawn with mango salad was a cracker for dinner. Finished the night with Back To The Futu...
