... is almost done. Needless to say we have spent many hours down on the beach (10 steps away from the van), where we could chat in peace while Jacob and Claire wore themselves out running up and down the sand and digging holes. Jake is still obsessed with catching crabs, and this was another beach that didn’t disappoint. He is however no longer satisfied with just catching the little soldier crabs that are everywhere, but ...

... immediately surrounded by about 6 motorhomes. Each night we have been having happy hour in our corner of the park. So we formed a group called the Gate 8 Chapter and all week we have been preparing for the Rocky "Horror" gala (theme). Before we left Brisbane we had decided to do the Adam's Family. Steve as Uncle Fester, Carol as Morticia, Jo as Cousin It and myself as ……..The ...

Carmila Beach &amp; Yeppoon - Day 153 - 155<br><br>The drive from Airlie Beach to Yeppoon is fairly long when you're towing the van so we decided to break our journey and stop at a free camp at Carmila Beach, which had been highly recommended.<br><br>We were a bit nervous driving into the camp as the sand was deep and soft and we had visions of getting bogged. I would definately not risk it without ...

... puts on the kettle to make a cup of tea for the difficult pom. Third time lucky, on day two I found a set that fit and finally got to enjoy the fringing reef on Shelving beach. It&#8217;s one of the biggest reefs I&#8217;ve seen so far, usually it&#8217;s just little bits all bunched in the same place, but this was just one huge shelf reef system that seemed to go on forever. Each time I go snorkeling now I get excited about the new thing that I ...

27/28/29/30/7/2009 - YEPPOON<br><br>Headed towards Rockhampton, crossing the Tropic of Capricorn, and headed down towards the coast to Yeppoon, about 40kms from Rocky.<br><br>We had been to Yeppoon a couple of times before, the last time about 13 years ago, when Rebekah Fisher was christened. We were up this way for Paul &amp; Sandra Fisher's wedding, and christenings of Caitlin and Rebekah. <br><br>We could'nt believe how it had grown over the years, but I think they ...

After moving on from the beautiful Byron Bay, home to many Moby's, we trundled up towards the Gold coast and its Miami/Costa Del Sol goodies. We decided to sample the slower side of the Gold Coast and spent the morning on the beach in Currumbin, watching the world go by and listening to a variety of different English accents admonish their children. I had (unfortunately for JEss) heard about some natural pool and rockslides nearby... Currumbin pools was a lovely picnic ...

rockhampton was all about getting the campervan fixed, after no fault of our own, but due to the failings of a mechanic we'd dealt with beforehand, who it seems didn't finish the job off properly, resulting in undue damage and yet more expense! woohoo!

Cestou jsme jeste chteli obhlidnout Sunshine Coast a Capricorn Coast, takze jsme ...

... we arrived at Rockhampton, we found a site near the river, aptly named the Riverside Caravan Park! It was after 4pm by now, so we just went for a walk around the town - yet another one of Australia's ghost towns by the looks of it. We did find a store selling Christmas lights though - they are now glistening with pride in the campervan window! We went back to the site and rustled up a chicken rogan josh - well, Lorna did, I just did the ...
