... position for all the surrounding gem fields. There is one thing you notice out here other than traffic rushing by every few seconds, and that’s the wildlife. We had unfenced cows and horses walking the streets and rainbow lorikeets swarming over the kids every morning and afternoon. We also had the hairy wrinkly variety of human down by the creek crouched down in their little holes digging away.

June 14 2008 8:05pm Hello from Bedford Weir Campground, a beautiful spot and best of all free! And it has hot showers and toilets!!! It is 25 km North of Blackwater and next to Bedford Weir, that is currently over flowing, but don't worry we are on the high side of the dam. We got a few pictures, appearently it is not that common for it is overflow, but up stream they are pumping out a coal mine that flooded earlier this year. They figure it should be pumped out by late ...

They can also ruin peoples lives, can be addictive, but then so can smoking, alcohol, sex, gambling, drugs ( I hasten to add not all of these are a waste of time) Now I might have to do without one of the above if something is not ...

Today Line and I have been travelling for exactly 3 month.! It doesn't seem that we have been away from home for this long. But even so, we actually can't remember everything we have been doing during our travels, because we experienced so much.. This week one can find us in a little town called Blackwater. It is know for its mines, and is actually referred to as the coalcapital of ...

You pay for your ticket and then book your buses as and when you want to travel; the bus stops along the way in various towns and for various activities that are included in the price of the ticket. I boarded the bus in Byron ...

No Roos so far but Blackdown Tableland did turn out to have some of the best views of all the national parks I went to in Australia. Apart from that it was a fairly quiet place with a few place with dried up waterfalls. Although I did see 2 lizards having a fight with each other and a few crazy looking birds.

< br>There were no cockatoos or lorikeets to announce our departure from Long Island – only a heavy downpour. Once back at Shute Harbour and on the coach we drove south to Mackay. There’s not much to Mackay except for sugar mills, and my most obvious memory of being here before was that the smell of refined sugar cane filled the air everywhere throughout the whole city. If you’ve never ...
