No time for line dancing!

We spent a couple of hours at the Stockmans hall of fame which was terrific. I had a great time and was relunctant to leave but I think Caitlin and Riley had felt that they had absorbed enough outback Australia to last them a while. Caitlin was also hungry off course as there was a cafe there...

Day 56 - Catching dinner down South...

Ayeaye everyone. Had a couple more days in Perth since the last publication, and went to the Jazz Cellar with my Auntie and co. It's a cool but funny place, bring-your-own everything, some people had saucepans of curry and were eating their dinner! To enter it you walk into a red phone box...

Not the fairy park

We left Rockhampton and it was raining yet again and we travelled the whole time in rain. We have turned on to the Capricorn Highway and are heading for Longreach. The rain was persistant and although it was not cold you still got wet and everthing around you wet. We pulled up at Anakie at a...

The rain has stopped

The rain had stopped at Anakie when we woke up so we headed off for the long journey to Longreach. I was happy now and enjoying the trip. We stopped at Alfafa and had breakfast and then on to Baracaldine for lunch. Alfafa is the city of wall murals which depict historical events all over the...

The computer is fixed

The computer is now fixed and they put it to good use by watching a $2.00 movie that Caitlin had picked up in a bargain box which was when they get off Gilligans Island. It was a very poor movie but they perservered until the end, I gave up and went to bed. We will be leaving Rockhampton...

Travelling North

We had pancakes for Breakfast at Sharon and then took the nature walk down to Sharon Gorge. It was then off to Gin Gin where we had some morning tea while waiting for the library to open at 12.30pm. Glenn and Caitlin did school work and Riley worked on his French. We had a succesful go at all...

Staircase To The Moon

I was most disappointed when I found out exactly what Broome's Staircase To The Moon actually was. It'd been hyped before but no one had said what it involved so we were surprised when we rocked up and were told it was only once a month. Then we found out; "Staircase To The Moon is a natural...

Gladestone

We walked all around Gladestone which is a very industrial town with Queenslands largest power plant, Aluminium smelters and coal facilities. It has a lovely marina with vast strips of lawn and playgrounds which we spent time at. We keep encountering the Australian Army on our travels as they...

Broome Time

Arrived: 20/05/07 Leaving: 17/07/07 I'm holed up in the Slow Death that is Broome on account of the fact I decided that if I got a job before Staircase To The Moon I'd stay in Broome and save up for the Kimberleys tour I wanted to do. If not, I'd be off to Darwin the day after the...
