Moonie Beach

Headed to Moonie Beach this morning avoiding all major beaches as they were too busy. We went for a nice walk through the coastal rainforest which is one of the only ones left here on the east coast. We saw a huge carpet python on the side of the road (unable to put photo on due to Chris’...

Huge lightening storm

Drove to Byron Bay this morning and had a nice walk around and up to the lighthouse before trying to find a nice spot to have swim. This was pretty hard as it was a Sunday so everywhere was jam-packed so we travelled further down the coast before stopping in Iluka but before we could...

Stunning beaches

After saying goodbye to Wil and Florence we drove to a couple of the beaches along the Gold Coast understanding why so many people want to live here as the beaches are stunning. We slowly cruised down the coast a little way before finding somewhere to camp up for the night earlier than usual...

Meeting up with Wil and Florence

We left our campsite and headed further south stopping for a swim in Somerset Dam and then at an awesome little pie shop in Fernvale. Yummy. We then managed to get in touch with one of Chris’ old work mates, Wil who now lives in Coolangatta so made our way down to the Gold Coast to spend the...

Australia Zoo

Woke up early this morning, Chris all excited about going to pay tribute to one of his hero’s Steve Irwin at Australia Zoo. So we arrived just before 9, paid our $118 entrance fee and walked around and around the zoo checking out all of the animals before leaving at...

Catching Mary River turtles

Chris went for an early morning fish in the Mary River and managed to catch quite a few catfish and the endangered Mary River turtle, all of which he threw back in, especially the turtle as quick as he could before anyone saw! We then drove up to Noosa Heads stopping off for an ice-cream...

Not a lot...

Didn’t do a great deal today, a little driving and camped just south of Maryborough on the Mary River and went for a really nice swim.

Another day of fishing

Decided to give fishing another go, but was not lucky this time so packed up after an hour or so. Then we headed further south to another campsite by the Boyne River. Saw some local fishing so thought we would give it a go so wandered down the bank and chatted to the local. He advised us...

Chris' 1st fish!

Took a short drive today to Carmila Beach between Mackay and Rockhampton. There was a nice campsite directly on the beach so decided it was time Chris put into action his fishing skills. Only problem was the fact the tide was out and it was about 500m to the water. At the end of the beach...

Platypus spotting

Drove straight to Airlie Beach this morning, but due to a lack of stinger nets, we went swimming in the manmade lagoon, lovely if you ignore all the toddler wee. We then made our way to Eungella National Park to go Platypus spotting and we were lucky enough to see a few as well as...
