1770 - GLADSTONE - CALLIOPE - BOYNE VALLEY - CANIA GORGE NP After we left the 'not to be mentioned as a great place to visit' camp ground we headed northward to check out Dr. Dwayne's new abode and for a much needed adjustment. The kids were pretty stoked to have someone camping in their backyard and were equally rapt to have an extra few to play Tag!! (Sorry Nathan, we never did get around to that promise). From Gladstone we needed to start making our way back ...

1770 - AGNES WATER - LADY MUSGRAVE ISLAND Our 'next door neighbour' at 1770 campground asked as not to tell anyone about this very well kept secret! Prime position, right on the river inlet, calm flat water for the kids, (and big kids), sandy beachs, awesome for swimming, kayaking or just simply relaxing over looking the Point and the sea.

We sat in our van, van van van...

BINGARA-BONSHAW-DALBY It was again pouring rain as we left Linda and Gary at Bingara, so we decided to drive on as far as we could before dark.

We thought it was rather squeaky compared to normal and Kerry was getting messages to check the trailer, but no, Paige did it so "it'll be...

BINGARA 'Farm Stay' The last few days Kerry and I have been staying on a 1700 acre property owned by our friends Gary and Linda, who we met a couple of years ago at a Sound Healing Retreat run by Chris James. We had been meaning to visit for sometime, so we were pleased that the rain relented enough to allow us through. We have spent the last few days brushing up on our farms skills; mowing the extensive gardens, digging 3ft deep holes for energy towers at their...
