Gin Gin - Kingaroy - HOME

After a most enjoyable evening with Judy & Bernie at Crane winery in Kingaroy we are finally home. We could not stretch the holiday out any longer!! So here ends our final chapter in our North Queensland trip.  We hope you found our travels entertaining.

Yeppoon barra & prawns at Crane Winery with Judy,Bernie & Howard

Yeppoon - Gin Gin

Yesterday way a rest day - sightseeing (although a little windy!!), shopping etc.
Today we drove closer and closer to the end of our holidays.  Travelled via Emu Park - another lovely little spot - and on to Tannum Sands.  Called in on another work mate of Harry's - Michelle King for morning tea and are now overnighting in a freebie 2ks north of Gin Gin. Tomorrow we are off to Kingaroy to stay with Judy & Bernie.

The Singing Ship at Emu Park. As it was a windy day it sounded really good.

Clairview - Yeppoon

We are all set for a couple of days in Yeppoon.  Lovely spot although a bit windy at the moment.

Beach at Yeppoon

I think we arrived at low tide!!

Eungella National Park - Clairview

Woke in a blanket of fog this morning.  It was beautiful to watch as it lifted.
Checked out (and bought from) the Eungella Sunday markets before continuing to Sarina where we visited the cemetery.  My mum has relatives there.  Now we are at Clairview as a stopover.  Lovely little spot on the ocean.

Where did the valley go??

Ahhh - there it is!!

Having a drink at the caravan park at Claireview watching the tide coming in.

Eungella National Park

Today we have done some National Parks walks, had lunch at the historic Eungella Chalet and actually saw  platypus - not sure if we saw the same one eight times!!!

Our bush walk

This is Harry contemplating how he is going to tackle the steep drive back down the mountain tomorrow.  It is  actually the hang gliding take off ramp in front of the Chalet where we had lunch.

Not a good shot but proof we did see a platypus

Bowen - Eungella National Park

After morning tea at Airlie Beach we traveled on to Eungella National Park.  It was a very steep ascent but well worth it.  The view from our campsite is spectacular!!!

Oh the serenity at Airlie Beach away from the tourist strip of shops!!!

This is where we are about to have our afternoon drinks!!!

Still Bowen

Another early morning walk.  This time up to 2 lookouts.  We had a guilt free cooked brekky following that workout.
A quiet day today after driving to another lookout on top of a water tower.  There are so many lookouts to appreciate the spectacular views Bowen has to offer.

Horseshoe Bay beach (our local!!)

Incredible, isn't it?

I feel right at home here!!
