Week 28


Townsville to Rockhampton – 8th July to the 14th July.

Monday We left Mission Beach and headed for Townsville. We stayed at the top tourist park south of the town.

Tuesday, we visited Ayr and let the kids play whilst we had morning tea.



 We then had lunch further south at Queens beach in Bowen, we had a van tyre repaired.

 

 We left at 4:30pm, drove on for 2 hours further south and arrived at Seaforth (just north Mackay) in the dark and set up camp on the foreshore reserve for the night.
 
On Wednesday , we drove into Mackay and looked around the Northern beaches area. Then drove on to Flaggy Rock and stayed there for the night. The kids enjoy the open grass space of the once local school. $5 a night, no power. The kids found a new family member that they wanted to adopt.



Thursday came around quickly and we drove to Yeppoon. We stayed at the van park out of town at Causeway Lake. What a great spot for the kids they had boats, motorised and paddle for hire.



We left on Saturday to drive to Gladstone. A picnic lunch on the foreshore was a great break from the travelling. We had a look at the lookout then we stayed at a free camp spot halfway between Gladstone and Gin Gin. When we left we came across a truck roll over just 2 k’s down the road…





Sunday,  Bundaberg -  RUM RUM RUM! We had a look at Bundaberg distillery and the Ginger beer factory.



We stayed at the Bargara beach caravan park down the road. The kids loved playing at the Turtle playground and Nielson Park.
