Hervey Bay

Hi everyone, still in Hervey Bay, QLD, until the 11/9, then back to Portarlington for 3 months.  The 2 photos below are of our day trip with Mum to Colac.  We are up at the lookout, looking out over extinct volcanoes. Taken about 3 months ago ( I have been a bit slack! )



travelling through QLD to Hervey Bay


Road hazard- stock being moved on the road, didn't get a shot of the drovers but they were there on their horses moving the herd along, with their dogs.

Our campsite at Dalby,QLD, the camp kitchen behind us.  Hard to see but 2 musicians playing country songs at the left of the kitchen. Plonked our chairs outside & enjoyed the free concert.


Catamaran " Spirit of Hervey Bay"- I went on the whale watching cruise last week.  Fantastic day aboard, left at 8.30 am, back at 2.30 pm.  Saw lots of whales!  Pictures below, but don't quite capture how close & big they were. 


Just in case we land in the drink!

From the top deck- 3 levels of viewing areas.
