Closing the Gap

On the wall of our caravan is a big map of Australia with our travels marked all over it. There is only a small gap now between where we are and where we started. Oh well. 

Since the last post, we visited family in Townsville and have wound our way down the Qld coast.

At Uncle Rod's Farm in Townsville

E finally got to ride a horse on her own.

Near Airlie Beach.

Finch Hatton Gorge.

E at the Pine Islet Lighthouse at Mackay.

Rockhampton Zoo

It might look like the Thunderdome, but it's just a big bird cage.

The boys right at home.

Not happy about a haircut from Mum (with good reason too!)

We climbed Mount Archer at Rockhampton for the sunset (climbed in the car that is).

No trip to Australia's beef capital is complete without a trip to the bull sales.

Auctioneering. Sorry, we missed all of that. Can you repeat it please?

Today we are camped at the showgrounds at Goomeri. Lucky for some.

Route since last post.

Tomorrow we will pass through the 27 degree latitude on our way to Broken Head in NSW for two weeks of sitting in one place. 27 is Brisbane. So it's fair to say that tomorrow we will have done the lap of Australia! But we still have two and a half weeks until we hit Brisbane, so more to come.
