Canarvon Gorge is a really awesome National Park with heaps to see. We went to an introductory talk that the park gives each day about flora, fauna and things to see and do. We discovered, during this talk, about a plant we'd seen growing everywhere on the drive there….we'd never seen it before and there were paddocks and paddocks of it….anyway, it turned out to be Lucena and is cattle feed during summer months (well we thought it was interesting).

The next day we set off and went through a couple of interesting towns…one called Banana which was named after a bullock…another town Moura where the Meridian Line crossed through. That night we camped on a dry creek bed in a state forest….we were lucky we even got into the state forest because we had to go through a Cockey's gate and had it not been for the Leconfield course we would never have known what a cockeys gate even looked like and probably would'...

We've seen the Bushmills Distillery in Ireland so we thought we'd skip this one, plus neither of us like Bundy rum (I know, how...

Fraser Island was nice….the highlight for us was probably the varying vegetation on the Island. One minute you are near the beach with small shrubs around and then you drive into the island a little bit and next minute you are surrounded by thick rainforest and towering trees. We did our first bit of fishing there….just for bate fish but, it was still fun. We saw a couple of dingoes walking along the beach as we were driving along….that was pretty cool. A...
