The city of Rockhampton is know as the beef capital of Australia and this is no "bull"! In fact they are all over town. While there we visited their amazing botanical gardens and wildlife sanctuary where we saw this handsome dingo. On the way down the coast we spent a couple days bush camping on the banks of a river.
Bob found this cute little old house and thought we should buy it but, it needed a bit of work so I had to say no deal! We then went on to the town of 1770 which was discovered by Captain James Cook in 1770, hence the name. We spent a week with family in the town of Woodgate, where we spotted several Emu foraging in the cane fields. Although we didn't take any photos there are always heaps of kangaroos around feeding on the neighbourhood lawns. Bob also tried a bit of fishing on the beach with brother Alan but all they netted where a few bait fish. Now we are in the town of Maroochydore in a lovely campground on the beach. We had a cute little visitor last night who found himself a cozy little spot in one of our skylights. He got a little camera shy after I took his photo and scurried off up a tree. You never know what you are going to find here.
