Left 1770, drove to Bundaberg and visited rum factory including samples!

Visited Marks great Auntie Joyce and her family who run a passion fruit farm. Visited Marks great Uncle Phil and enjoyed a family bbq on Sunday 9th with fresh home grown passion fruit!

Left late afternoon and headed to Mon Repos beach and observed from 2m a turtle crawl up the beach and lay her eggs - helped re-locate eggs to safe nest! Stunning.

Stayed the night and on Monday morning headed south to Hervey Bay in prep for trip to Fraser Island. Met Lauren and Paul (more bristol friends), attended Fraser breifing and cooked "roo" on the barbie.
