We arrived at Horn Island with beautiful warm, sunny weather and were greeted by our two tour guides, Darryl and Laurence. They introduced themselves, took our luggage and directed us to a bus that would take us on a tour of the island. Our lady bus driver (I can’t remember her name) took us on a tour of Horn Island, showing us all the points of historical interest and telling stories of the war. Horn Island was used as a base for both the Australians and the ...

After leaving Noosa, we headed up the coast, stopping first at Childers for one night and then on to St. Lawrence for two nights .

Carrying on up the coast we drove through heavy rain and bounced through all the potholes on the Bruce highway but eve...

Its been the worst humidity we have ever known and we spent most of the ...
