Fraser Island
This morning, we went to River Heads to catch a feery to Fraser Island. I am definitely recommending a trip to Fraser Island for anyone who is considering it. You need 4-wheel drive vehicles to get around, because Fraser is the largest sand island in the ...

Happy Birthday, Gareth - & Whale Watching

Drove from Childers to Hervey Bay today but as it's Fabulous Friday (previously known as Whacky Wednesday) we also went shopping. Kept the budget down in spite of having to but razor blades and a camping light but then was gutted when we drove out of the ...

Just finished work
It's been an amazing week. Very emotional seeing Tess and Sally off at the airport on Monday 3 March. They look so young. But I'm sure they will have a ball and create wonderful memories of this big adventure just like Paul and I did back in '82. I ...

Best day fishing for a while

And the bumping continues
Had to get out fairly early to be able to get along the beach as there was an early low tide of about 6am and you can only get past sections 2 hours either side of low tide. While driving along the beach spotted dingo tracks and fairly soon saw our first ...
