The boat has found water.

We are really enjoying the beautiful warm weather at the moment, great for camping. As we are travelling further north the girls are discovering many different people, places and animals that they have never seen before.
The lifestyle as we travel north is more layed back, no shops are open on Sundays, people are more friendly, although it seems that having ACT number plates is a bit of a drawcard for people to come and have a chat.
We visited Bundaberg for a day, places of interest were the free zoo and park and also the rummery. We also visited the Bundaberg,ginger beer distillery and purchased different flavours to try for our happy hours. So far the guava is the favourite flavour.


Time for school and a snack

 A sudden change of plans as we approached the turn off to 1770, we decided to take the girls for a history lesson and show them the birthplace of Queensland. The first place in Queensland that captain cook landed in 1770. This was good for them to learn about Captain Cook and they really enjoyed learning about him. We only spent the day in at 1770 and Agnes Waters, it was not an appealing place to us at all, and there were too many sandflies to share the campground with.



Snack time on the water

 We found a great spot on the Calliope River to camp for a few days and put the boat in. We had a great time fishing in the boat, and the girls were keen to go night fishing with Darrin to use the bait fish they caught during day.  Unfortantely we did not catch the big Barramundi, we have been told by quite a few people that they are biting and there has been a few big ones caught at. I can't wait till we catch a big barra.
