KINKA BEACH - YEPPOON Enroute to Brisbane, we called into Yeppoon to spend the day enjoying the beach and a couple of short walks through Capricorn Coast NP. The attached photo is taken at Flow Rock Lookout, near Rosslyn Bay. It is a hexagonal rock formation that is created by layers of slow flowing lava from a volcanic plug. Very cool. We posted a video on PegKezzy YouTube channel Fan Rock Lookout https://youtu.be/TleR-SsAJUI Overall a fairly low key day, as ...

DALY WATERS - MT ISA - JULIA CREEK - AYR - BLACKS BEACH - MACKAY Okay, so we didn't quite leave Kakadu when we claimed we would, Bruce made us an offer too good to refuse - free accomodation!Finally departed, we made a b-line for Daly Waters Pub, as we heard it was a place to "experience", an atmosphere unlike any other and entertainment that would tickle the ol' ribs.

Someone had a desire, a dream, a vision- too make beautiful areas i...

OPAL REEF- CALYPSO SNORKEL & DIVE What a magnificent day! Ginger tablets in tow and we were off on the gorgeous little Calypso snorkel boat approximately 45km off the Port Douglas coast to Opal Reef. The Australian government has actually made a wise decision in regards to environment protection, in that each company is designated a section of the reef, whereby they are able to run their tours, whilst also being responsible for preservation and protection of...
