Bye Yeppoon, time to head North again
Was a slow start to yesterday, most of us slept in except me who wakes at 6:30am every morning to write the blog before we get moving for the day.

Gracie II
Well Mark and Fiona have done a great job of documenting yesterday’s activities, and both got some great photos as we spent the day cruising over to Great Keppel Island. It was a fantastic day, and everyone was thoroughly exhausted by the end. Gracie II is a great boat, A twin hull catamaran, with two … Continue reading
This place look alright…
So it is decided… we will stay in Yeppoon until Thursday. I would call it sunny Yeppoon, as the days have been fantastic, but I awoke again this morning and it has bucketed down overnight. Water everywhere! Luckily some smart person has moved our clothes line in under the annex (wasn’t me I was fast … Continue reading

Back in the van
Good morning campers, we are back in the van! Woke feeling a little sore and sorry for myself this morning, but don’t worry, it is only 90% self inflicted… might have had a few cans last night… the other 10% though is because I have done my back 🙁 We arrived around 3:30pm yesterday to … Continue reading
Cars, Celtic Stones and The Farm
So this morning after breakfast, I thought I would head out to the car and install the new relay for the second battery. Wasn’t too difficult a job as the wiring was already in place so all I had to do was swap the relays. I disconnected and removed the battery, and determined how to … Continue reading
