Rockhampton was a stop that wasn't really on our list to do but more a stopping point to catch the ferry to Great Keppel, an island that Sig & Vic had visited and loved 10 years ago! We are hoping things haven't changed but we think that is a big ask! After a good nights sleep at the Rockhampton YHA we decided we would see what 'Rocky' had to offer.... - It's the beef capital of Australia (whatever that means!) - It's like going back in time to Hillbilly Am...

A sad day came.... The day we had to say goodbye again to Amber & Tom! After nearly a month of travelling together we felt like a little family! So we decided to go for the most northern goodbye we could think of.... A Pie for dinner! With Great Keppel Island on our minds, we were ready to get away from THE TRAVELLERS for a few days! Today's bite your tongue moments: NUMBER 1 - Two 'pretend' smelly hippies ask to borrow a splash of oil... "Of course you c...

On the ferry we looked for marine life but saw none with the choppy ocean! Normally you are able to see Dolphins and ...

But THEY did! We drove to the champagne pools where we stopped for a dip, or a paddle in Char and Amber's case but to be fair it was soooo cold! Champagne pools are naturally made by the sea flowing over the rocks, creating little pools perfect for swimming to escape th...

Happy birthday Mum!! (Debs) hope you had a great day - we didn't even have phone signal to text!! Sorry! RIP B.B King! The first job of the day before leaving for Fraser was to pack up all the food and drinks for our group. It soon became clear that we weren't on the same wave length.... Us four take 3 boxes of goon... THEY take nothing! When the 4x4 arrived, the road trip started with Matt jumping in the drivers seat (he was like a child on Christmas day!) an...
