We are at Bundaberg after a night at Tannum Sands, just past the very industrial town of Gladstone. It is very dry around all north Queensland, they could sure do with rain and the air is a bit hazy from bushfires. We will be here another night before heading to quiet and pretty Burrum Sands. We called into the twin towns of 1770 and Agnes Waters on our way to Bundaberg. A thrill on the way out there, we saw two more Brolgas - the first time I'd ever seen them was at Geike Gorge so a rare sighting. One day I hope I'll see them 'dancing'. We were glad we hadn't booked the night at 1770 - although it's a very pretty spot, the caravan park looked choc-a-block. At Agnes Waters I chose fabric to ... read more

After a weekend spent in Gladstone, it was time to journey to the city of Bundaberg, via the Town of 1770. Wow... its a very pretty spot.... flat water, beautiful houses, cliffs, beaches and it screams out at you...." spend a week here!!!"

Sophie had last been to Bundaberg on her previous visit to Australia in 2004 when Debbie & Rich had just moved into their new house. Since then Debbie (Sophie's friend from the UK) had been keeping Sophie up to date with the 'rennos' on the house and we were both looking forward to seeing what had been done, catching up with the new family member and swimming in that pool that had been promised to be in situ for the next visit! Debbie picked us up from the coach station on the 23rd December after our 16 hour journey from Mission Beach and we were very excited at the prospect of spending a few weeks in the luxury of a 'proper' house. From the moment we got into the house we were made to feel right ... read more

Hello again!!! Yesterday was my last day on the tomato farm. I'm a little bit sad, but just a little bit... Now it's time to move on and i can't wait to get into new adventures. On Friday i will leave Bargara for Hervey Bay to get on my Fraser Island trip. Of course, now that I'm off work, it's raining. But no worries....... read more

Hi everybody! I'm still in Bargara and I'm still working in the tomato buisness. But I'm on the picking machine now and the work is even harder but the money is so much better. I don't think I'm really good because I'm not fast enough, but I hope they'll keep me for the next 2 weeks. Yesterday we worked 12 hours in about 35 degrees! Theres not much to do after work, because normally I'm so tired and exhausted. All the fun stuff has to wait until Christmas. Hope you are all well. Seeya susi ... read more
