Our second night of free camping was just beautiful. This little spot is in the highway just north of Gympie. We had our solar panels all setup and were able to be completely independent. Curried spaghetti left overs on toast cooked on the gas stove and the skipper loved it hehe. This place is surrounded by ponds filled with birds. We even had an owl come and visit that night. The torch supplied by the Cody's gave just enough mood lighting outside to still see th...

Dominique the washing machine decided to hemirage during her many loads at Blacks Beach. The navigator informed the skipper that there happened to be high sea pouring out of the kitchen cupboard. The air turned blue in the shell while the ...

After arriving in Gympie on the 8th November and sleeping over at the Victory Hotel Motel (very nice old pub with motel built at the back) and having been very impressed with the Gympie that exists off the highway that we have been just driving through for years, we went down to Performax International on the morning of the...
