Taking it easy in Port Douglas, but a couple of hours later some people at the holiday park were disturbed by other campers chasing a brown snake that disappeared under their caravan!

Amazing house

January 02, 2018

Blown away by this house when we drove the Great Ocean Road a while ago, but didn’t get a photo then. Now we’re tripping it again with Katie and managed to stop nearby for a pic. Suspended 40 metres above the road at Fairhaven Beach, it’s the most photographed house on the Great Ocean Road, probably Australia, and was featured on their Grand Designs a few years ago.

Islet of Pines Lighthouse, Mackay

August 21, 2017

We enjoyed the last of the afternoon sun over a drink at the newish marina development near Mackay's busy port (exporting sugar & coal.) The lighthouse was the last kerosene powered light in Australia, moved here in 1983.

The Top End

September 15, 2017

Another big day driving, but it's mercifully cooler at 28 degrees in Renner Springs. The springs water is justifiably well known-made a very soft shower at the caravan site and Don is filling our tank before we depart. It's very dusty here but there's a huge artesian basin below the Barkly Tablelands and it's reasonably green, with beef grazing a major local industry.
