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 …
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

Hightailing it to Longreach
After we left Gemtree, the mission was on to make it to the coast in time for my 20 year high school reunion on the 1st October. This meant some big days of travelling simply to make the miles, but we also wanted to make sure we saw a few of the things we wanted to …
A gem of a place
When undertaking research and sussing out where other families had gone and recommended on their trips around the country, time and time again Gemtree came up in my research and so I had said to Corey we had to go there. Orginally planning 4 or 5 days there, unfortunately we were only able to stay …
Uluru awakenings
We posted quite a few pics of our short time spent at Uluru and Kata Tjuta on social media so we won’t rehash it all, but here are a few things that you may not have known about this iconic Aussie tourism destination and that we discovered as we explored the region. 1. It’s not …
