16th June 2009 We left our campsite around 10ish this morning. It was only about an hour and a half drive here. We stopped in a place called cardwell on the way to have lunch, we pulled up right next to the beach. It is even hotter today, its so nice. So we had lunch and then Mike decided to make a man on the beach using his clothes and drawing in his arms and legs and took about half an hour trying to get the best picture of it! He ended up taking about 20 phot...

15th June 2009 After we bothed crashed out early doors last night we weer up nice and early this morning!! After getting ready and having brekkie as usual we set off for Townsville.

We arrived in Rockhampton around 5ish and found a campsite on the river. Rockhampton i...

10th June 2009 On our way here we stopped in a small town called Marborough, apparently where the author of Mary Poppins came from - FACT! There was a market on so we took a walk through and ended up buying some flavoured nuts, some sour liquorice stuff for Mike and we got some free popcorn, always good when its free! From here, it was about a half hour drive to here. So we arrived here at around 1ish and found a really good council run campsite right on the be...
