Goodbye Bargara and on to Hervey Bay – our jumping point for K’gari. I told Chris that I wanted to stop and see the town of Childers on the way. According to a tourist brochure I read “Childers is the beating heart of the regional food bowl and still famous for its old world charm.”… Read More Roadtrip Bargara to Hervey Bay
We decided to bail on Bundaberg. We had been planning to do day trips from Bundaberg to the beaches but decided we would base ourself at one of the nearby beachside towns in the area instead: Bargara. Bargara is only a 15 minute drive from Bundaberg. I googled caravan parks in Bargara – there are… Read More Roadtrip: Bundaberg to Bargara
I’d booked a week in Bundaberg because I thought it would be easier to use that as a jumping spot to the beaches and distilleries etc in the region rather than moving around. When I told some people on our roadtrip that we were staying in Bundaberg for a week the reaction was “oh –… Read More Roadtrip: A Day In Bundaberg
I booked 6 nights in the Bundaberg region to see the beaches and Lady Musgrave island – but Lady Musgrave Island was the big drawcard for me. It’s a coral island at the southern end of the Great Barrier reef. I had decided because we are spending so many nights in a caravan we would… Read More Lady Musgrave Overnight Experience
Park run is at the Botanical Gardens so we thought let’s do it before we leave. We rocked up there a couple of minutes before 8 just in time to see everyone leaving the gardens all red and sweating. It started at 7. We did the course anyway but park runners will understand it is… Read More Roadtrip Rockhampton to Bundaberg
We woke up and I said you know what, maybe we should change plans and go and spend the day in Rockhampton. So we did. Nothing wrong with Ferns Hideaway but we didn’t really feel the need to explore the National Park around it. We packed up. As we drove into Rockhampton we saw Kershaw… Read More Roadtrip – Byfield National Park to Rockhampton
It was an easy 50 minute drive from Yeppoon to Byfield National Park after we got off the boat from Great Keppel Island. It was so easy with the caravan, the owner from Cap Coast Storage was waiting for us when we got off the ferry and took us to pick up the van. We… Read More Roadtrip Great Keppel to Byfield National Park
We spent two nights on Great Keppel Island and it might be one of my new favorite places. No one talks about Great Keppel Island anymore. I remember it so well growing up in the 80s and 90s – get wrecked on Great Keppel. The resort closed down years ago and I thought that was… Read More Visiting Great Keppel Island – Two Day Road Trip Break
It would be completely insensitive to my readership of seven mostly working people to say it was hard leaving the catamaran where we were waited on hand and foot and going back to our own cooking and cleaning and road tripping. So I will read the room and not say that. We arrived back at… Read More Exploring Cape Hillsborough
We paused our road trip to do something I have wanted to do for a long time: go sailing around the Whitsundays. I had booked a 3 night cruise on the Whitsunday Blue, a catamaran that sleeps 8 people plus two crew. After much anticipation, the afternoon finally came and our captain, Kevin, and host… Read More Sailing Adventure: A 3-Night Whitsundays Cruise
