Childers - visited the Palace backpackers which was famous in 2000 for the fire where 15 young people died. Also called into the Old Pharmacy which had stocks of pharmeceuticals dating back to last century - lotds of Rawleigs products that you still see even today. Checked out the ice cream factory which was a bit pathetic.
Woodgate were we saw our first kanagaroo and then another and another and now there not cool any more.
Also saw some amazing birdlife and a couple of goananas. Walked the Banskia Track a 5.4k circuit of banksia trees - sort of pretty in its own right. Drove out to Walker Point hoping to do another walk but access was only by 4WD and George is just not up to that standard.
Road to Bundaberg where curiosity finally got the better of me and we had to stop to chack out the huge mounds of ....... on the side of the road - they were termite mounds and Tony couldnt resist stirring them up a little - very impressive structures i have to say - he also managed to wind up an ants nest - and then we quickly moved on!!!!!
Port Bundaberg at Burnett Heads which had some massive sugar cane sheds.
Mon Repos and the turtle rookery - turtles have all gone though but we did have a sort of a nice swim in a sort of a rock pool.
Bargara - a pretyy little seaside town where we had fish and chips on the beach for tea.
Coral Cove where we hoped to do some snokeling and see coral etc but it was not to be - Tony is not too keen on being out in the open sea!!!!! - Sharks
Now in Bundaberg and I have to say we are not too impressed - will give it a day and then maybe revise our thoughts.
