Left beautiful Townsville to explore the Whitsunday beaches. Unfortunately the weather seems Victorian like. At one point the temperature was less than Barwon Heads. What the! Stopped off at Bowen for lunch. Made sure we had a ripper view. The big bloody Mango. Arrived at Airlie Beach and found accomodation at the Seabreeze Tourist Park. Not the best site (or price) however closest to the beach and boardwalks. Not sure if we will get the best out of the ...

Today for the first time in a while is another special edition with JACK! Today we woke up to go on another early walk along the strand of Townsville. Once we had done the first bit we couldn't go past the magnificent cafe where we had breakfast the day before. So we had brekkie there.

Key Stats KM's - 25; Steps - 12,109; Max Temperature - 28; Fish - 0 (total 12); Pokemon's - Level ...

Thanks for the foldable solar panels and lovely seafood dinner guys. We left the dinosaur triangle to head for the QLD Coast. Fuel consumption was ordinary early with a bouncy road and head wind, settled down later on. On the way we stopped at Charters Towers for lunch in the caravan. Things v...

Today was more about the fossils in the area. We firstly drove about an hour to Richmond and visited Kronosauras Korner. Here we spent about an hour and a half looking at the amazing collection of fossils from the Cretaceous Inland Sea that covered inland Queensland 120 million years ago. The Richmond Pilosaur was our favourite. We then went out to one of the dig sites in great anticipation (tools in hand) with the expectation that we were going to find the n...
