Off the radar in Cania Gorge - 29th, 30th June & 1st July We have found another one of the "places that I didn't know I wanted to see" and it is beautiful. After a tip we got from some motorcyclists we met some time back we have finally after a few false starts ended up in Cania Gorge National Park. I must say getting here has been an endurance trip but now all that is behind us and finally I too can laugh about that muddy slippery road I led us up. In...

The Mighty Intrepids get dirty! Bargara to Biloela Qld: Thurs 28 June 2012. Once again we woke to more drizzling rain and grey skies in Bargara, near Bundaberg; so depressing.

Cabin Fever or "It seemed like a good idea at the time". - 24th June We woke up to another day in the "Sunshine State" which was like a having a cold with a runny nose. Drip! drip ! drip ! all day long. The cute old couple next door were going to offer to drive us to the supermarket. So kind and cute.
