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...
