Townsville, Queensland
From Airlie Beach we headed to Townsville which is a surprisingly large city spread over a vast distance. Traffic wasn’t bad but we noticed we were spending a lot of time stopped […]
Back on the Road – Airlie Beach
We had some battery problems which delayed our departure from Brisbane by a couple of days. The auxiliary battery was not charging. In dodgy fashion Joe hooked up a 19V laptop power supply to […]
Getting Ready
We’re back in Brisbane where we’ve dragged the Hilux out from 7 months of hibernation in Phil’s garage. We call Phil’s house “base camp” now because it is the staging point for […]

Champagne Pools, Fraser Island
Champagne Pools is one of our favourite spots on Fraser Island. They’re just some rock pools on a rocky head between a couple of beaches. The pools are fed by waves crashing […]
