Rollingstones gather no moss!!!

With Mick Jagger blaring from the van, we rolled into Rollingstone - Being an avid fan, it has to be done, don't you think?


Disappointment, didn't see Mick or the rest of the band - Didn't expect to really, but one can dream.....


We found this area had no end of places to set up camp, some places even had showers.
No need for the bucket wash there then! (ha ha).

"Potter" did us proud, juddering along the unsealed roads and the cane railway lines that were in abundance.

We however, were a bit worse for wear with our old bones a rattling......

Went on a Cassowarie hunt in the rain forest (they are meant to be vicious) but all we found were mozzies........

Come on Skim...
It's bath in a bucket time

Freshwater crocs...
Well I thought...

If the kids are swimming down there...
I'd be safe paddling up here...

Digeridoo creek...
Took two runs at this.( AND SKIM STILL DIDN'T GET A CLOSE UP...)

Just had to stop here...
In case Mick Jagger was in town

Don't worry Skim...
They only like fresh meat...

I feel safe under these trees...
They have all got coconut baskets in them...

Stinger net...
The life guard on duty said "this was everyones favorite beach duty, because they only expected 4 or 5 people a day in the water"

The estuary..
Can't see any crocs here, but we know they are there...

Rollingstone bridge...
Nice paint job...

Another shot of the bridge...
There are loads of kids jumping in the creek just behind me. Rather them than me with crocs in the water...

A bit of local history...
This is a mural of Flight Lieutenant Vincent parker with colditz castle in the background. Bit of a local hero...

Cane railway.This was a total suprise to us...
Didn't know that Australia had such a vast suger cane industry...

Unsealed roads again...
They are a bit dusty and bumpy to drive on...

Look at the size of this bugger...
It's a stick insect!!!
Would you beleive 3 burly german lads ran a mile when they saw it...

Yeah!
So slow down. There are some mad drivers over here!

Cassowaries crossing
We didn't see one in the wild. But we saw one in Australia Zoo. Looked a bit like a blue headed emu with attitude.

I'm a celebrity
get me out of here!!!

Come on then
But you have to run....

I'm running, I'm running!!!
But the mozzies are catching up...
