... wedding group in our photo, because they don&#8217;t have time. I wonder whether it may be that actually they are incredibly tacky and tasteless? Both the shell collectors bemoaned the fact that the local young people are not interested in joining their club, I wonder why?<br><br>Our campsite for the night was Coolwaters Holiday Village at Kinka Beach, set on the road but beside a huge lagoon and opposite the beach and mangrove areas. The site featured ...

Hi everyone, Just doing a test blog. I don't think we will have a computer in Rocky, no pretending I'm really in Hawaii. Trying to get past the wedding and into Bali mode. I am looking forward to the food, drinks, elephants and monkeys, and heaps of pampering. Oh my, life's tough. Don't know how I can ever go back to work. To be continued.......<br>

... I had to climb in and out the passenger side. I have replaced the clutch not once, but three times in the 7 years I have owned it (And only one of these was because I had actually worn it out.)<br><br>I have kept hoping, over the years, if I just get this one problem fixed, then the car would be good for a few thousand kms. But the instant I get whatever said problem is fixed, a new one develops. And now, in Rockhampton, we have a fun new problem. The clutch ...

... trip. I took the 12 hour journey with Mario and Luigi from Rainbow Beach (including 2 and a half hours in Hervey Bay) up to Rockhampton, where they carried on for many more hours up to Airlie Beach. The following morning, I was dropped at the ferry stop for Great Keppel Island. The Island is fairly newly inhabited and when I arrived, it seemed that the only thing on the island were beaches, rocks, trees and a hostel. The only instruction for the day was to be back at the ...

Another Team meeting in Rockhampton. One must realise that 2 of the team have to travel from Emerald and the other 2 from Bundaberg. The meeting starts at 12noon with lunch then at 12.30pm it is full on until around 5pm. Meet again on Sunday morning at 8am until 12pm with all ladies returning to their home locations. Mike, is a bit fortunate in the fact he lives in Rockhampton and only has to go overseas (Fitzroy ...

After nearly a week in Airlie Beach we wanted to get off the backpacker trail for a bit. We headed for Rockhampton (or Rocky as it's known) which is the beef capital of Australia but apart from the surrounding countryside doesn't have much going for it according to the Lonely Planet. We just wanted to go there for a steak. We got a 6 hour bus from Airlie Beach and arrived at the backpackers place at midnight. We had to check in with the bar staff in the pub downstairs as it was so late ...

After leaving Airlie Beach we made the short 150km journey to Mackey to meet Paul and Michelle, the Scottish couple we had spent a few nights with in Mount Isa when both our vans were broken down. I felt really ****** all day though and wasn't really up for a night out. Don't know if I was really dehydrated from the sailing trip or if I had caught some sort of flu or something. It was typical that the first day I've been sick since India fell on a day where we ...

... t long before I was in this madhouse. I really didn't know what to think at first, there were cockroaches on the walls and the carpets were all dirty, but I thought I'd stick it out for the first week ('cause I had already paid for it) and see how it goes. I stuck my stuff in my dorm and went out into the courtyard where everybody was. It didn't take long and we were up at the bottle shops getting some longies and stubbies and having a good ol' time. Michael ...

... yell something out at us, perhaps a welcome of some sort, but it was always incomprehensible. This is obviously the second most exciting thing for locals of Rockhampton to do. The first, of course, is to flog the bollocks from a statue of a bull. <br><br>We checked into our motel in the early evening and had some time to kick back and relax in our rooms before dinner. On the local TV news the lead story was about a man who had waded into Rockhampton&#8217;s ...
