Sundowner Motor Inn Rockhampton

... Highway is the road we are cruising, and its one long, straight road. We are desperate to get a Dolly Parton CD to help us along the way, we have purchased two CD'S from the garage and both are pretty naff, one is Forest Gump the theme tune (Didn't realise the music was so bad, although Trudy says what should I expect the film was ****!!) and one country and western mix (3 Cd's) and we only know one track by Kenny Rogers!! Max has had a thing about country and ...

... and that was all you could do around. We did enjoy the time relaxing there after the working stint, every night we had a drink with other campers around 4 pm and by 6 it was time to make some dinner.<br>Here are just a few nature pictures we took around the place. We just bought a new camera and hope to take some great pictures to send to you, so far it is working a treat. This a great place to set up camp for a few days and just have a bit of a rest from the busy city.

... balls of lava that when they<br>spewed out of the many, now extinct, volcanoes in the area millions<br>of years ago. We had a quick intro into what we were looking<br>for...basically round rocks.....So armed it a pick axe, bag and<br>bucket we went digging. There was loads around, the only thing was<br>you did not know what they were like in side. We stayed there for<br>around 1.5 hours, they took us to the cutting room where they cut few<br>of our best ones for us. And some had ...

... schritten und irgendwie war dies auch zu spüren. Ein wenig schwül** als zuvor in Agnes Wat** war es auf jeden Fall. In dem Info-Zentrum haben wir uns mit Broschüren üb** die Umgebung und Sehensw**tes eingedeckt. Gleich um die Ecke war uns** **stes Ziel: d** Botanische Garten und d** kostenfreie Zoo. Wir waren beide recht begeist**t und haben fleißig Fotos gemacht. Danach sind wir qu** durch Rockhampton gefahren und in östliche Richtung nach Emu Park gefahren. Die kleine und v**schlafene ...

... pull. So here we were with no spare in the middle of nowhere with one bar of range(thank God!). Racq mucked around for ages trying to work out what to do. After 3 hrs the girls and I drove to a small town called Carmila which is where the tow truck was coming from. Kimba sat in the van &amp; waited. Racq had booked us into the local pub for the night as there was nothing else. My ...

... they have actually transformed into a church, with pews, an alter and a choir stand. Apparently the acoustics are perfect and they have loads of wedding there each year. That night we parked by the Fitzroy River in Rockhampton and after dinner we watched a bit of TV in the campsite. There was a news bulletin in the middle of a programme and the headline was "Large Croc Spotted in the Fitzroy River in Rockhampton". Its safe to say we didn't sleep well that night!

... Met some cool people, Tom the German, who was skint and just killing time before his flight to New Zealand where he'd meet up with his girlfriend who had cash! An American, and a Native (Who are actually fairly hard to find in Hostels). During the day we'd get the shuttle bus to the beach mooch out, and then head back. The hostel was great tho' it's called the Tree House and is basically just that, only a ...

... stop at a bakery in the small town of Calliope where I have a Steak & Kidney pie and Lisa opts for a cheese and garlic roll. It turns out that when you buy a pastry roll round here, it's a given that there's already sausage inside so in fact it's a sausage, cheese and garlic roll. I end up eating this too as Lisa goes back for a chicken pie. Lisa takes over the drive now as we continue north past Gladstone, "You can't miss it" we're told by various ...

... about gymnastics, jeff bridges was the "coach" and that kept me busy for a while. when we arrived i met the two israeli girls sitting in front of me on the bus and we quickly discovered that we were sailing out on the same ship the next day, british defender. so from there i walked to my hostel, which was different then their hostel. i checked in, got settled, and then, to my surprise, while chilling out on the balcony roof of my hostel, i met Kate, another ...

... two of the great obsessions in any woman&#8217;s life, crafted from crocodile leather. The prices seemed astronomical, but let&#8217;s face it, as a bloke I&#8217;m more likely to spend $500 on a whole lot of things other than boosting my range of wardrobe accessories. <br><br>Along the walls of the entranceway hung the usual array of appreciation certificates given by volunteer associations to all good corporate citizens, things like &#8220;This certificate is ...
