Watermark Resort Caloundra

... early was the way to go. Also, by the time you’ve woken up and walked across the campsite to the loo, you’re usually fairly awake anyway and may as well get up. The beach at Rainbow Beach is not in itself multi-coloured but the cliffs are. As we walked along they constantly changed from greys, yellows and oranges through to reds and deep browns. The beach was another long stretch which you could walk for miles, with very people on it. There ...

... so everybody on the boat had to clap. They stayed with the boat for 40 minutes. The ships are not allowed to move or have their engines on if the whales come with a 100 metres of their path so we were stranded. In the end the captain called another ship to come across to divert the whales attention so that we could continue to sail. We stayed on the water until 6:15 and saw about 20 pods of whales in the end. It truly was the most magical trip and would have ...

... to be in the presence of such an extraordinary organism. in the words of my grandfather, "it was neato-fleeto!" after the encounter we thought we'd catch the Asian Short-clawed Otter show so we meandered over to the exhibit and got a premo spot to watch them. Bonnie and Maria are Otter sisters and came from the Auckland Zoo about 9 and 1/2 years ago and have been living at the Australia Zoo ever since. they were very cheeky and ...

... Herrlich.. Ich war seit April letzten Jahres nicht mehr dort! Nachdem wir die acht Touris vom Transit Centre abgeholt haben, fuhren wir knappe 30 Minuten bis zur Fähre. Die Überfahrt mit der MICAT hat rund 1,5 Stunden gedauert und was man als erstes zu sehen bekommt sind die Schiffswracks, die direkt vor der Küste liegen. Ich glaube es waren an die zwölf Schiffe, die absichtlich versunken wurden, um ein künstliches Riff zu erschaffen. Die ...

... friends from Turner Valley, the Lumkes family (except they weren't there! They were back on the Sunshine coast, visiting family! So........we decided to head back to Brisbane. Back to the coast, over the amazing Captain Cooke bridge, through Brisbane and on up the coast to Caloundra. Found our rv park in the dark after driving in frustrating circles for a bit. Long day, rough roads, and a complete circle! Spent an entire day in Caloudra, did some ...

... ends, on time, at the docks but our parents are perplexed as to their final destination. As we gather our things needed for the night, the sky turns black as giant bolts of lightening pierce the sky with deafening cracks of thunder. As the large raindrops begin to fall at a torrential rate we are ushered onto a waiting boat that even in the dock, is swaying with the current. At this point we come clean and tell our folks the plan - the boat ...

... for a live phone in on Brisbane radio, A great chat about the car and our trip. Then again another radio station and then the TV all wanting to know where can they see the car! We want photos and would love to film the car they all said, Where have you all been I thought. The shipping staff kindly took us to the train station where we caught the train back up to Caloundra and Dicky beach where we were planning to camp until we fly home ...

... We struggled to finish our new routes, lengthened in attempts to salvage bowers which had previously been attended by those that had gone. Three days does not seem like a long time, until you consider that we were working from dawn till late afternoon, often alone for long periods in a wood filled with ticks, leeches, and the ever-present threat of snake bite. Early on we had been informed that with long pants and a watchful eye, snakes should not be an ...

We began the morning with tree planting. Though there wasn't a whole lot of them to do, we managed to stretch the job out until noon. Around 1 pm the sun finally showed its welcomed face, the first time since we had been out to Bribie Island. To enjoy the great weather, Daniel and I decided to walk the few kilometers home ...
