Continuing North up the coast we briefly stopped at Burrum Heads, not a lot to see but it is a quiet coastal town on the water.
A visit to the Bundaberg region can't go without a visit to the Rum Distillery 😍 (of course I walked out with a purchase or two).
Stayed on the coast at Bargara, a beautiful town with fantasticLes mer
Seventeen Seventy (1770) the last surf break on the East Coast.
Stayed at a Hipcamp called "The Summit" great campsites & great hospitality.
Left earlier than planned to make a beeline to WA coast forLes mer
Next stop Tannum Sands, beautiful foreshore parks & walkways but lots of sandflies.
So we only spent 2 nights & moved onto Lake Awoonga (30 min away).
Lake Awoonga...OMG 😍.... Such a beautiful place.
Maintained by the Waterboard (who do a magnificent job) this place is something special.
30 min from Tannum Sands but it is a world of its own.
Yeppoon, on the coast East of Rockhampton.
Nice place, our campsite backed into the beach (a bit pricey 🤑)
Rode hire scooters to the pub to have a drink with Mick Oliveira 🤕🤣

A nice town, just stopped overnight (so no photos). Bigger than what I was expecting.
Caravan park was nice & backed onto the golf course
Another overnight stop at the Barcaldine showground.
Wandered down the main street, not much open & 2 of 4 pubs permanently closed.
Visited the Tree of Knowledge which is an amazing sculptureLes mer
Lara Wetlands....what a hidden gem. A campground on a private station. Approx 17km off the Lansborough highway on a red dust road.
