On our first really big road trip last year we had the pleasure of discovering Bundaberg, we were pretty sure that there was quite a bit more to it that we wanted to see so it was a definite stopover we wanted to add.
As Brett packed the car this morning in Yeppoon it started to rain(lightly) rain and wind are definitely two things I think we will forever associate with Yepppoon.
We headed off via Emu Flat stopped briefly for a photo of their Anzac memorial (it was raining thee the other day so we missed the photo! And then continued south to Rockhampton and grabbed a photo at the tourist information centre where they have a marker for the Tropic of Capricorn.
The drive today was not super big/long in km but seemed to drag quite a bit, rain, single lanes caravans!
We stopped for a pit stop at Miriam Vale where they had an amazing playground, perfect place for the kids to get out, have a stretch and a play, it was brilliant.
Our next stop was Gin Gin, we had planned to stop and try an award winning pie and I had been messaging Sue from Nutty Creations (she is on Facebook) who had made our cute turtle hatchling Gina who we had purchased on the way up, she has a selection of creatures and we ended up adding a crocodile, blue tang and platypus (all hatchlings) nad Aimee's favourite a manta ray! I haven't taken photos of them yet but I plan to. (Not that it would matter greatly as I don't have enough internet to power the photos on, again!
With only 50 km to go to Bundaberg we headed south east and had a brief stop to view some craters which were discovered in 1971, apparently geologists are unsure as to their formation , volcanic?meteorite? But they were quite unusual in appearance especially the way that the red oxide and sandstone have formed together.
Last stop for the day, Bundaberg and once again it seems I have selected a less than average dwelling but the pool is good and it is literally right beside the shopping centre. The kids had a fun swim this afternoon and we had some much needed salad for dinner.
We have plans to really get out and about tomorrow so here's hoping things go well.
