After another stint of driving up the coast on Saturday morning we stopped at a little place called Rollingstone and found one of the best campsites we have stayed in since we have been away. The whole area is surrounded by water with the camping areas all along the ocean front and a manmade lake next to the kitchen and bbq area that also flows between all the cabin areas. We decided to put our tent up right next to the edge of the beach and soon realised why ev...

We left Rockhampton on Thursday morning after our first nights sleep back on the tourist track (and a small exercise in removing ticks from our legs that we had obviously picked up in Bunya) and after another day's driving we reached cape Hillsborough National Park just North of Mackay. Once we arrived we were pleased to see we had a nice little camp spot just across from the beach and were even promised the chance to see kangaroos hopping along the sand in the m...

Once back in Brisbane we had a day of nothingness on Thursday before heading to the Convention Centre yesterday for the International Motor Show. There were loads of different sports cars including Ferrari's, Lamborghini's and Porsche's, as well as Jen's favourite - the Lotus Elise, wh...
