We are now into week 3 at Bowen and we have moved to another site in the park. We found that the regulars that had been coming up for the past 20-30 years completely dominated the whole end of the park that we were in. They would have their nightly circle where they would all get together and be loud and gave you the impression that it was an exclusive circle no strangers allowed. They would also get up early and start talking and laughing right outside your van ...

We are finally in Bowen and once again we have managed to get a great site,so we have decided to extend our stay for another week and have 4 weeks here. The site is so big we have a back yard a side yard and there is still room for the car all enclosed with tropical plants and palms,very nice.

We arrived in Airlie Beach yesterday and we are looking forward to having 5 days of doing nothing ...

Well I know it's been a few days since I posted a blog but we have had a few days of just travelling and resting. We travelled through dinosaur country and went and saw a full size dinosaur skeleton in a museum in Hughenden which was really interesting. Apparently there have been lots of dinosaur bones found in this area. We then drove on to Charters Towers and spent a couple of days there,it is a very old town with a lot of history attached to it. Today we a...
