Big driving day yesterday – the distances are huge! We made our way to Rockhampton and got a bit ‘city shy’ after being in the wide open spaces of rural Australia for so long! We drove to Keppel Sands Camping area which was outside of Rocky and closer to the coast. We camped in a lovely grassy camping area, which was such a change from all the dirt and bush camping we have done. Rod wanted to check out Yeppoon so we did that this morning and then started to make our way down South. On the way we passed through a number of small towns which we would like to have stayed and investigated further such as Childers which looked like a great little place to stay, but unfortunately time is against us. We passed through sugar cane fields and crossed lots of rivers that were recently in flood. We followed the Bruce Highway – the A1 – which is definitely not in A1 condition – it almost had as many pot holes as the Gibb River Road (well….almost!) to Noosa where we will set up camp for the next 2 nights and hopefully check out some fantastic restaurants while we are there.
