After leaving the Valentines it was off to Port to see if we could catch up with the Cameron Clan. We knew they had to go to Wauchope at 11am so we're trying to get there just after 10 to give them a hug. It was so great to see them, and Pete, Mary and Liam turned up too. Worked out that we could catch up again on Thursday for a BBQ dinner, fabulous Bonny Hills was a great stop, perched on the hill, with views out to sea. One of the days was a bit rainy so we too...

We decided to stop at some of the places that you drive past as you head up the coast. First stop after Evans head was Iluka, a sleepy little town, with a old school vibe. Spencer loved the Caravan park we stayed in because it had a Galaga machine that he and dad could have battles on.

We spent most of the time in the pool so no problem.next it was off in the direction of Yabba creek, via Gympie, pretty much west of Yandina (home of the Spirit House) Very ,very hot and no swimming in the creek. There is a great boardwalk through the rainforest there, found that we had to carry Comet due to stinging leaves that ar...

So the drive out to the coast, Hervey Bay was stunning. We took the scenic drive north of Carnarvon gorge called "the wildlife way" ....picturesque. We stayed at the back of a roadhouse of sorts at Bauhinia Downs, great shower though. Headed on an ended staying the next night in a disused railway yard, $5 a night not too shabby, and we were the only ones there. Next morning off to wards Hervey Bay to get sorted for our trip to Fraser. We stayed a little out of to...

We have made our way to the Dinosaur Triangle, Hughenden, Richmond and Winton. This journey took us Sth of Paronella Park to Ingham, the westward up and over the Great Dividing range. The boys got to see Wallaman Falls, the longest single drop in Australia, which was very impressive. They also got to see a Cassowary in the wilds, they were quite impressed with their size, nearly as tall as Spencer. We stayed at Mt Fox while exploring the Falls. On towards Hughen...
