We had 4 great days at Longreach and it was as hot, dry and dusty as we expected. Although the temperature was high 30s, it was not a humid heat so quite bare able. A swimming pool at our site helped a lot as well! Also a good spot to meet other travelers and have a good yarn. We made friends with some more bird life. These were a bit bigger and Chris was not so keen on me feeding them, although they were friendly enough and quite gentle when eating out of my ha...

We did eventually manage to leave Seaforth, even after seven weeks it was hard to drag ourselves away from that lovely spot. It is an unspoiled, picturesque part of Australia that not many people know about and we just stopped the world and got off for a while! We did get to see most of the places of interest in the area and made it up to Airlie beach, from where we took a scenic flight over the Witsunday Islands, definitely the best way to see them. I also got...

After spending a few days at Sarina, checking out the sugar cane industry and MacKay stocking and ...

We have just spent a few days in Rockhampton, checking out the area and catching up on shopping, maintenance etc. Yesterday we went to a cattle sale, something we just had to do in the beef capitol of Australia. It was only a small sale but by the size of the cattle yards there are some major sales held there at times. With reluctance, we came away without buying one of the small calves on sale. After the sale we took a walk around the botanical gardens which ...
