Touring is thirsty work!.
With the fine weather we’ve been experiencing on the Capricorn coast we took the short walk atthe double Head section of the Capricorn National Park. The Double Head Section adjoins Rosslyn Bay Harbour and protects vine thicket with overhanging fig trees, windswept and stunted scrub land and open tussock grassland with grasstrees. Bird’s eye views over …

As we had a fairly big day travelling, we were up early and leaving the motel by 5:50am. The GPS surprisingly gave us clear and easy directions for departing Sydney, unlike the ones it gave coming into Sydney. Our journey today would see us get to Brisbane, with stops at: Tacking Point Lighthouse. Cape Byron …

Today sees us begin a shorter tour down south. Our destination today is Goondiwindi and once again we will be staying at the McIntyre Motor Inn. Unlike last year this year’s trip would be a straight run without any deviations or side tours. I like visiting Goondiwindi, being on the Queensland border makes it an interesting …
We are only doing a short Thirsty Tour this year as a visit to Bali is planned. Whilst we would normally fly to Sydney this year we are driving so we can see some sites and enjoy some country pubs and restaurants. We will once again stay at the Rendezvous at The Rocks. This visit …

The Museum’s collection ranges from the Australia’s pre-federation state colonial armies and their first deployments overseas in the nineteenth century through to today’s twenty first century diggers. The display space is divided into two main areas. The …
