July - week1

On Monday, we left Rainbow Waters & travelled toward Gladstone. On the way, we had a look around Maryborough, the birth place of "Mary Poppins". In the early afternoon, we were heading for 1770, & got lost & ended up in a little place called Ironbank. This town was about 3 houses & a pub that also served as a general store. We decided to ask for directions & have a drink there. When we walked into the pub, I said hello to some locals & they just stared at me. Then I asked the publican for a drink & he grunted, & got the drinks.. My mind drifted to the film, "Deliverance". After some effort on my part, the publican became quite helpful & gave us directions. Well, we got out of there alive & ended up in Gladstone at about 5.00pm. At the second caravan park, we got a site, & booked in for 2 nights. We had a look around Gladstone on Tuesday, & headed to Rockhampton on Wednesday morning.We couldn't get a site in Rockhampton, so we continued to Yeppoon. After 4 caravan parks, we found one that could take us. We booked in for 9 nights, & will leave here next Friday. On Thursday we went into Rockhampton & had an enjoyable day doing what tourists do.This caravan park is good. It has a big outdoor screen & shows films each night. There was also a singer entertainer here on Saturday night. He was good value. I'll post some pictures in the next day or so. Love to you all, Avril & Doug. XXXXXX
