27/06/13 - 28/06/13 Agnes Water - The Bradley Wolf Breave Heart Retreat

 

 

We finally hit Rockhampton, and visited the (free) zoo in the Botanic Gardens.  The wild birds joined us at the table for lunch and ate our pie crusts.

 

The wombats were rolling around like dogs.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Rockhampton is known as the beef capital of Australia, so we thought we should sample the beef.  We got some bone in rib fillets (viking steaks) and some american ribs.  I do have to say that they were nice, but not super.  We know where to go for better ones..

 

 

 

 

 

 

Lidia found this place a little out of town but cheap, nice and the owners were very friendly, and we even had our own guard dog.  She was pating this dog, playing with it every chance she had.  In the morning it came to wake us up.

 

We arrived late afternoon the first night, so decided to stay 2 nights, just to spend the entire next day tripping around.

 

 

 

Next day, we went into Agnes Water, and drove into the town called "1770" (was discovered by Captain Cook in 1770, and somehow this is what the towns name still is).  Really just a bunch of nice beaches and walks.  We took a 4wd track along the beach and visited some rocks and camping areas which were really nice, but too cold for swimming.  After then we went into Eurimbula National Park which was a waste of time.

 29/06/13- Apple Creek Creek Rest Area

We drove to Bundaberg and did a tour of the rum distillery there.  Went to the ginger beer barrel aswell, but we didn't do the tour there - instead we just took a 6 pack of samplers with us.

A bit more driving took us to a free camp, which had a nice freindly bunch of people, and we shared a camp fire and some travel stories
