Bargara on a drizzly day - 23rd June Gone is the idea of Queensland being the "Sunshine State" it has been drizzling all night and stil misty rain in the morning. The best way to deal with this is to put on the wet weather gear and break out the umbrellas. Time to do a walk up along the coast, Trish has her hiking sticks out and looks like she is off cross country skiing but she forgot to take her skis. At least they keep her gammy knee working without pain on...

Continuing the migration northward - Bargara Beach 21st and 22nd June. All Trish's research has done it again and she has found us another little gem. Bargara Beach which is 15km east of Bundaberg Queensland and located in a small village-like atmosphere on the beach front. For a change we took the highway option straight up to Bargara. At only 198km it was an easy trip and after a short lunch break in Childers we arrived early afternoon to beautiful weather...

Dave said that it feels like the Earth is breathing here at Tin Can Bay, as you can see the ti...

We don't want rides that are too long, we ...

Two days in Toowoomba - 14th June I'm finding Toowoomba to be a real enigma. In 2011 the terrible floods here did so much damage and took so many lives in the area but to be here now with everything looking so normal it is hard to imagine how it happened. The little creek over the road from our cabin trickling through green parkland had been a raging brown torrent. Hints of the past were visible at the traffic light intersection only 200m from where we were ...
