Our next stop was
Cape Hillsborough, however on the way we dropped into Horseshoe Bay in Bowen. This is a beautiful little spot where we were able to have lunch and a run on the beach (well the kids anyway!).

As soon as we arrived at Cape Hillsborough Nature Resort, Will was on the beach trying to catch another fish.

5am start to watch the final of the World Cup... Germany 1 beat Argentina 0. It was also great to see the Dutchies beat Brazil for third place yesterday.
We also had to do a couple of repairs, a flat tyre on the caravan (first for the tour), and unblock drain in the caravan which was full of rice.
Our next stop was Rockhampton where we were able to catch up with a good friend of Graeme from his 1994 Contiki Trip in Europe. George was a fellow "coach packer" and we were able to catch up with him and Catherine, and their two daughters Charlotte and Eliza.
After a rough night in the camp site (Gus was sick and we were 10 meters from the busy train line) it was a trip to Rockhampton Zoo the next day before heading off again...
We stopped in at Agness Waters and the Town of Seventeen Seventy, had a fish and then made our way into Bundaberg.

We had a great camp site just out of Bundaberg, complete with fire and marsh mellows.
When leaving Bundaberg the next morning we ran into what appeared to be an Aboriginal protest. It turned out to be some sort of celebration (
NAIDOC Week).
