Sydney to Brisbane – Two Lighthouses and One Very Long Day! After a fairly big day of travelling, we were up bright and early, leaving the motel at 5:50 am. Nothing like an early start to get the kilometres under your belt, although getting out of bed at that hour on holiday should probably earn …
Lighthouses, Laneways, Model Kits and More Vivid Sydney! After a big day exploring Sydney yesterday, we were back at it again this morning.

Sculptures, Country Roads and the Journey Home All good things must come to an end, and today it was time to point the car towards home on the Capricorn Coast.
