(Written by Nancy – updated 17 May 2011) Today we had a full day of the Bruce Hwy to look forward to – the plan was to try to get to Mt Larcom so we could then get into Rockhampton the following day. I was a bit leery of what we would face, given all the … Continue reading Surviving the Bruce Hwy – Bororen to Mt Larcom (82k)

(Written by Nancy – updated 17 May 2011) We woke to the birds and the bush turkeys around our tent and thankfully blue sky.  We had breakfast, packed and headed off by about 8:30. First order of the day was to backtrack the 35k from 1770 to the turn-off to Miriam Vale.  Unfortunately we had … Continue reading Dead computer 😦 but we are safe in Bororen (73k)

(written by Dave) Great rest day in 1770. The caravan park was very quiet – except all the birds, lots of bush turkeys but also a new type we had not seen before. We spent the morning doing chores – laundry, cleaning the bikes and adjusting Nancy’s cleat one more time (for her Achilles). We … Continue reading Rest day in 1770

(written by Nancy) It was very quiet overnight and we slept well, at least until we had an interesting visitor about 4:30am this morning.  I woke up to a funny sound – at first I thought Dave had rolled into the side of the tent, and then I thought it was a bird landing on … Continue reading Double day into the town of Seventeen Seventy (138k)

(written by Nancy) Surprisingly quiet night at the Sugar Bowl Caravan Park – I suspect because it was pretty cold! We were pretty chilly in our caravan so I imagine the folks in the wet tents were pretty cold as well. We had a TV in our caravan so stayed up until the very late … Continue reading Bundy bound – Childers to Bundaberg (60k)

(written by Dave) Today was one of those days on tour that we would normally not have much to write about. We were up early at Rod and Lisa’s, listening to the rain coming down outside. We had a chance to say goodbye to Rod before he left early for work, and then said goodbye … Continue reading 100,000 miles to Childers (63k)

(Written by Dave) We had a great Mother’s Day today – missed our Mums of course but a great day all the same. The highlight of the day was picnic at Tuan with Lisa, Rod, William, Sarina, Grandmum and Granddad, plus 6 kids and 6 more adults from the family next door. We all piled into Toyota … Continue reading Great day with the Ritchie’s in Maryborough

(written by Nancy) It was actually a pretty quiet night in the onsite cabin and we both slept fairly well. We were up early this morning to make sure we were ready for the dolphin feeding. We ate breakfast in the cabin, packed up a bit and then headed down to the marina about 7:15. … Continue reading Dolphin Day – Tin Can Bay to Maryborough (75k)

(written by Dave) Sorry about yesterday’s post being late. We had no mobile signal at Kin Kin – we posted at our lunch stop today after writing up our notes up last night. Great night at the oval, all quiet by 9PM and pretty much no noise from the pub – no repeat of the … Continue reading Through the Noosa Hinterlands – Kin Kin to Tin Can Bay (79K)

(written by Nancy) We packed up most of our things last night in our room at the hostel so this morning it was a fairly easy departure after we ate the remaining food we had for breakfast. I think we each had four pieces of toast – had to use up the remaining bread as … Continue reading Back on the road – Noosa to Kin Kin (55K)
