Airlie Beach and Whitsunday Islands On 28th March we all caught an afternoon flight north to Proserpine on the Whitsunday Coastline and back in the tropics. We didn’t get to Airlie Beach till after dark so we couldn’t see anything! We arrived at our caravan park and we booked a lovely log cabin which felt very much within the rain forest. I think the most important task of the evening was finding the closest pub so my Dad wouldn’t have a heart attack! 10 m...

Brisbane Part 2 We camped a caravan park in Newmarket, 4km out of the city on Saturday 21st March and had a great time listening to the lorikeets and kookaburra’s at dusk and then dawn on Sunday!

Daz loved it haha!!! We c...

We pitched out tent again at Pippies and spent the rest of the afternoon down the beach, something we were having withdrawal symptons from, haha! It ...

Bundaberg We left a rainy 1770 at 6.30am on the greyhound and arrived into Bundaberg 90 minutes later! Things hadn’t really gone to plan this week so we arrived without booking our campsite or with any inclination into what we would get up to!!! The rain turned to drizzle so we walked to Finemore Campsite just on the outskirts of the CBD. Half hour later (backs dying!) we got to our destination which is situated right on the Burnett River. Because it had raine...
