Canberra trip day 1 and 2

What a weird start to a holiday – I got a bad case of food poisoning two days before we left so I didn’t get much packing done until the Thursday morning before we left. The other thing that made it a weird start is that Brisbane and the north coast of NSW was hit […]

day 7, 8 and 9 – yeppoon to hervey bay (point vernon)

It has been a little difficult to do the blog the last couple of days – day 7 I didn’t have a lot to add and yesterday poured rain all day and I was tired from the drive down from Yeppoon. Day 7: We drove out to Byfield a little town north of Yeppoon that […]

day 6 – great keppel island

Today started off pretty miserably. We had pretty big storms most of the night last night and it was still raining when we got up. Stu managed to go for a run while it wasn’t raining but it was raining again by the time we were ready to head for the ferry. It started to […]

road trip day 5 – yeppoon

We had a pretty big thunder storm in the early hours of the morning which unfortunately hasn’t boded well for the rest of the day. Today was going to be an explore the local area type day so as soon as the weather eased we jumped in the car to drive south. We headed down […]

Road Trip Day 4 – Moore Park Beach to Yeppoon

road trip day 3 – bundaberg

We are staying 2 nights at the Moore Park Beach Motel so we could get a day to explore the Bundaberg region. Moore Park Beach is a really quaint little seaside village which is really spread out. You feel like there are only a few people around you. The motel is the old style roadside […]

road trip day 2 kingaroy to moore park beach

As usual Stu and I were up early this morning and took Eric for a walk around Kingaroy. The Motel Oasis is comfortable but a little claustrophobic especially for a puppy like Eric. We are driving further north today but going via Mundubbera and Gayndah to stretch the day out. We drove along some back […]

Road Trip day 1 bne to kingaroy

Today we started a 3 day road trip up to Yeppoon. While Yeppoon is only about 8 hours north we decided to take it slowly today. We stopped for morning tea at the Fernvale bakery – which has a beautiful old truck out the back. Then we headed to Toogoolawah where Stu’s dad keeps threatening […]
