Plaza Hotel Rockhampton

... It became a memorable stop none-the-less&#8230;<br> The McCorkindales had told us Yeppoon was a good stop, there are several council caravan parks in the region. We found our first preference on the beach in Yeppoon full so opted for our second preference the one in Emu Park. I was keen to be in a caravan park near the beach with reasonable facilities (i.e. power) and within striking distance of the airport whilst Greg was away.<br> Greg was swooped by a ...

We both had a super day at the Great Barrier Reef. We traveled out to sea in a big boat. Max enjoyed the trip, didn't honk over the side as she had taken two ginger tablets which settled her ever growing tummy! Once at the reef we spent our time sunbathing, snorkeling and eating. It was amazing to see all the coloured corals and different fish. We went in a mini submarine and a sea turtle swam alongside of us. The day was well organized and the crew looked after us ...

... 8 bags in<br>tow. As we crossed the river we decided to take a quick break, only<br>to find that they had free BBQ's next to the seats! As Michelle<br>returned from another toilet hunt she found Dean Toasting bread for<br>breakfast on the BBQ. It was then on to looking for the hostel. We<br>checked in and thought about what we were going to do for the day as<br>it appeared a lot of the things were out of the town. We were due to<br>collect a car the next day, so after a quick ...

... die Morgensonne genossen. Auch Agnes Wat** haben wir uns noch mal angesehen und fanden dort einen eigentlich recht schönen Strand vor, d** zu einem Sonnenbad einlud. Dies** Einladung sind wir natürlich gefolgt, all**dings war das Me** doch ein wenig kühl zum Baden. Hätte ich meinen Bikini mitgenommen, wäre ich vielleicht auch rein gesprungen ab** da ** noch im Auto lag und das Wort &#8222;faul&#8220; auf mein** Stirn stand, genoss ich einfach die warmen bis heißen Sonnenstrahlen. Anschlie ...

... It had taken me 45 minutes to get to the beach so I decided to leave myself an hour to get back. That would be more than enough time. At 2:45 I dusted myself down and headed back to the ferry. I walked down the length of monkey beach to where the dunes at the back of the beach were lowest, assuming that this was the logical place for a track. I walked through loads of trees in what I thought was the right direction, but instead ended up on Long Beach, which isn't far from ...

... photo. So, another camera mounted on tripod and yes, bingo we ended up with a photo we were all happy with. About 10am, Team Leader Mike, began to realise that we get twice as much done on the Sunday as we do on the Saturday afternoon. Remember, the team do drive for about 3 and half to 4 hours to get here. We are very tankful for being able to use the meeting rooms with all facilities which are kindly donated to us.

... the bloody hell you doing in Rocky then mate". There were a few backpackers at our hostel but not many, nobody really stops there so we got to meet some real Aussies. That night we went to the Bush Inn bar and grill attached to the Criterion Hotel, on the site of the oldest bar in Rocky, a lovely old building with lots of wrought iron on the front, typicla of old Queensland hotels and pubs. The steak was amazing, we went for the 250g which was the smallest, they went up to 1kg! It ...

... eat half a burger for dinner, Lydia was shocked! We were supposed to go to the cinema after that but I was only fit for bed so we said goodbye to Paul and Michelle and had an early night. <br><br>The next morning I felt a lot better, still not 100% but definitely good enough to leave Mackey. We decided to drive as far as Rockhampton that day as to drive as far as Hervey Bay would have been to much in one day. We're trying to limit the kilometres per day to ...

... went out all the time. Alex and Anne came together from Germany and bought a nice little van, named "Red Baron", and invited Claudia and I to come along with them up the east coast. What was I gonna say?? Soon enough I was on the phone, calling up the harvest hotline looking for work for the four of us to do to get some money. Well well well, low and behold, there was a man named Mark up in a city named Emerald looking for watermelon pickers. I bought a ...

... time I had ever seen a full episode of the antics of Steve Irwin, and it was a beauty. While the Armed Forces of Australia and New Zealand were on peacekeeping duty in East Timor during the conflict following its assertion of independence from Indonesia in 2000, the Croc Hunter was not far behind them, rescuing two crocodiles from tiny cages and organising new enclosures for them to live in. There&#8217;s something strangely surreal about watching a man jump ...
