the drive to Mount Isa was ok. We stopped in Richmond and had brunch by the lake. The roadhouse women yelled at Carli for leaving the door open. Carli maintains it wasn't freakin her who left the door open. We saw many a roadkill mainly kangaroos and wallabies. The biggest shocks were a little black piglet and on the side of the road, a huge bull. It was frozen solid and laying on it's side. Road trains are massive, at least 50m long. Do not enjoy overtaking th...

We spent Sunday driving again our destination Hughenden. Sunday was a good drive, although it was a long way, we were on a little bit of a high and the drive seemed to fly. Bec may have been speeding again...We had a few more songs to keep us going this time. It's so surprising how much we have to talk about. Whoever is driving generally asks the other a lot of questions about things that the other one has no idea about. It's like the drivers seat is the curious ...

So we arrived in Airlie on Friday. The drive from Yeppoon to Airlie was so long. It felt as though it took forever. Perhaps this was because we really wanted to get to Airlie or it was because we only had about an hours worth of music to keep us going. We stopped by in Mackay and Bec stated that she saw absolutely no good looking people in the shopping centre. We aren't saying that everyone in Mackay is ugly, just on the particular day, there were no good looking...

The day of Great Keppel Island. Firstly, Carli did not get seasick..pretty happy with herself because for once she could actually enjoy her time on a boat. A little side not about Great Keppel Island. A contiki resort was once the attraction of the island. Once the resort closed down, because the owner wanted to expand his empire, the tourism business was severly impacted. The tour we went on, cost us $135 and it was well worth the money. The locals have high h...

We drove and drove and drove today. Left Toolara at 7am and arrived in Yeppoon at 2pm. We stopped once for fuel, three or four times for toilet breaks, once for coffee and a number of times for road work. Unsure how they can put work on the sign when there seemed to be absolutely no work going on. We amused our selves on the drive by singing, Carli got a good video of Bec singing (will post it). Bec probably got a speeding fine but we maintain it was the guy who ...
