We had one more night booked at this caravan park. We had originally intended to go back into Brisbane for a second day but due to the extortionate cost of their public transport and the fact that we'd seen everything we'd wanted to we had a rethink. We needed to book our flights out of Australia and decided to go to a Flight Centre and find out about the cost etc. There was a Flight Centre in the Westfield Garden City Shopping Centre which was only about 2 kilom...

After brekky it was time to go into the city. The bus went from right outside the caravan park. We were horrified at the price. There were no return or daily tickets available and the single price was $7.50 each! That means that it was going to be $30 between us for the day. To put this into context the return train ride in Sydney was only $6 each. This was the most expensive public transport we have encountered in Australia. The driver more or less apologised an...

After brekky we hit the road to Brisbane. The scenery on the way was absolutely stunning and we'd have missed this if we'd gone the coastal route via the Gold Coast. We are so glad that we came this way. We headed to Birkdale in Brisbane's southern suburbs to have a chippy lunch. The reason we came here was to visit Chumley Warners which is a traditional British fish and chip shop and the most southerly in the world. I know about this place because it was feature...

It had been a chilly night and our last night in New South Wales. It seems to be much colder at night inland than on the coast. I still though wandered over to the showers in the morning dressed in just t shirt and shorts. It wasn't that cold but a lot of the lightweight Aussies had fleeces and hats and even scarves on! They're not hardened to the cold like the Brits. We headed to Bald Rock National Park this morning which was about a half hours drive from Tenter...

This had been a great camp site despite the extortionate price. The facilities were good and some wallabies had passed close by to say hello. After brekky we drove back across to the visitor centre car park so we could go back into the National Park to do another walk. We got the shuttle bus just one stop to the Ranger Station from where we could start the Cradle Valley Boardwalk. As the name implies this is a boardwalk and it runs just over 6 kilometres through ...
