Day 28 Airlie Beach and our Three Island Tour.  2 August 2016

Our day started early, on the bright side, we organised to be picked up and dropped off for our cruise today to take all the fuss out of it, on the down side, that meant getting up early. We were due for pick-up at 7:05, Continue reading →

I have added a map showing where we have been this trip.
We will update it as we go
It is on the new page “And where have been you ask” under the title graphic

Thanks for the suggestion Carly

Bowen to Airlie Beach via Dingo Beach and Hideaway Bay.

After planning for a slow start for the short trip down to Airlie Beach (a straight drive was going to be about 76km) we were both awake before 5:30, and despite our best efforts we got away at 8:30!!

No problem, we, well Deb, had a plan. 🙂 We work best with a plan, apparently, 🙂 Continue reading →

Day 25 Bowen Qld   30 July 2016

Hello 🙂 We had a good day yesterday, did a bit of shopping, some Ingress and had a look at all of the beaches.    There are some really lovely little beaches and people were swimming at all of them.    Has been 25C for a few days now, and blue skies, very pleasant. Continue reading →

We missed the sunrise this morning, but managed to get away around 8:15, on our way to Bowen.

It was an easy drive down to Townsville, and we made our way out to the suburb of Gulliver to see if we could see the house I used to live in about 54 years ago!!! Continue reading →

We had a very quiet day today. When we woke we looked out the window and the sun was just rising, a beautiful sunrise. So we both went out to get some pics.  🙂 Continue reading →

Day 21    Mission Beach,  Qld     26 July 2016

Happy birthday Patrick, we hope you have had an amazing day. 🙂

Day 19   Innisfail to Mission Beach Qld     24 July 2016

As usual our leaving day started early and we got on the road at about 8am for our short drive to Mission Beach, it is a mere 51km. The caravan park we wanted to stay at didn’t take bookings so we thought to give us our best chance we would get there early. Continue reading →

We had a fabulous day today, the sky was blue and the sun was shining.  🙂

We skirted around the Atherton Tablelands on our way into Innisfail and it felt wrong not to be visiting.   A few days ago Glenys suggested we should go, glad we did.    Continue reading →

Day 16 21 July 2016  Mount Surprise to Innisfail Qld  252km

We set out around 8am, the day looked promising, with only a little rain forecast. We drove through Mount Garnet and then onto the top of the Atherton Tablelands (well the bit we were driving through anyway) at Millaa Millaa.   It was around here that the rain/mist/foggy conditions started.
