Our time at South West Rocks was steeped in history and stunning in its surrounds. Normally we don't book anywhere and just wing it, but we had noticed that the closer to the coast we are, the harder it is to get in where we want. Sure enough, we left making any booking too late and …

Illaroo – Funny name, stunning camp
As we headed South, we weren’t really sure where we were going to go, but we finally decided upon the Illaroo Campground which is in the Yuraygir National Park. Situated about 1km from Minnie Water (a small coastal village which consists of a general store and a Surf Livesaving clubhouse), Illaroo is one of the …
North Coast Vibes
So our plan for the coast was to head to Mullumbimby so that we could explore the area and especially tick off the most Eastern Point of the coast line in Byron Bay. When we arrived at the Leagues Club camping ground that we were planning to stay at, we realised that the Mullum Music …
Time to chill out in the Lockyer Valley
After the constant driving and exploring of the Sunshine Coast, we changed pace and spent nearly a week with friends in the Lockyer Valley. This gave us the chance to slow down and catch up on things like laundry. Corey was able to spend a bit of time fishing with Terry and Zac on Lake …
Playing tourists on the Sunshine Coast
From inland we head back to the beach to the Sunshine Coast with no real plans other than wanting to find something affordable (you know, because I’ve become a mega tight-arse and all!). Well, we were in luck and found the Cooroy RV park which is a Council run space - to call it a …
From beach to bush
So after blowing all our data allowance uploading all the pics from Fraser Island, I am waaaay behind in my updates! After our awesome week and a half in Hervey Bay and on Fraser Island we headed inland to catch up with family at Mundubbera. I spent much of my childhood in Mundubbera after Mum …
Our mammoth Fraser adventure
And a mammoth post filled with pics to show it all!!! Having arrived in Hervey Bay amid dreary skies and rainy weather, we set up the van whilst the girls watched DVDs but before too long, the girls were keen to pull on their gum boots and get amongst it! Our stay in Hervey Bay …
Downtime in Bundy
The next stop in our travels was Bundaberg where we were originally planning to spend a couple of nights, but ended up staying three nights at the Wyper Park Scout Camp. We found this little gem on Wikicamps and at only $10, this awesome little camp had showers and toilets and heaps of space for the …
We found paradise in 1770
Why Captain Cook didn’t decide to drop anchor and stick around a bit I’ll never understand! We’ve spent 3 days at Seventeen Seventy and we love it. A stunning piece of the Queensland coast with the most gorgeous sunset over the ocean you’ll ever see – particularly on the East coast given the sun sets …
Home to Poontown
No matter how long you’ve lived away from your hometown, the minute you’re back in the vicinity it always seems like you’ve come home. I moved away from Yeppoon the minute I finished high school. A friend and I threw everything we had into a bunch of bags, caught the tilt train and moved to …
