We slowly made our way to Bowen and booked into a caravan park to recharge everything. All 4 batteries are down and haven't been driving enough to recharge and the 125w panel can only do so much...haha

Kids having a bit of fun just outside of town.

Fishing, snorkelling, drinking and relaxing on agenda for next couple of days.

The spot in the caravan park is about 30meters from a pub....Bwahahah

Unfortunately we pretty much drove in and drove out as it was too crowded and too many tourists for my likeing.. Hahaha.

So we went to Mackay for a couple of nights to relax and to give the boys a bit of a play in the water park

This came out in 1969 and still use a very similar harvester today but with an air conditioned box on top

Pretty amazing that nothing at all goes to waste with the sugar cane, and I mean nothing at all. This tour is highly recommended and has free grog and sauces tasting at the end

We then headed down to Carmilla beach to get smashed by the midgies(sand flies) but the effort was worth a couple of mud crabs and a couple of grunter
...sorry no pics on the iPhone
Oh here's one the little inlet just of the main beach



We got to Rocky last night so we'll see what's happening here but will probably stay at Yeppoon

This morning on the outskirts of Rocky


More to come so stay tuned
