Day 34 & 35 - Baralaba - A little hungover but not too bad I sat in front to navigate and incase was gonna be ill ha ha!!! Went to McD's for brekky was just wot the doctor ordered for all of us!!!! Drove to Tropic of Capricorn and then to Rockhampton for lunch, few hours to kill so had walk around shops managed to get great cowboy hat that fits!!! Finally arrived at Mayella Farm Stay where we chilled on the night and next day we milked cows, fed chickens and went for a trail ride. Not as good as my Blazing Saddles ride but still good fun!! Chilled in hammock in the afternoon, defo decided want one of these so comfortable!! England won the rugby hurrah!!!!!!!!!!!!
36 - Redcliffe - Long long long 720km drive today!!!!!!! Didnt get to camp till late so tents up and food then pack ready for Morton island. Met Matt's twin sister who another tour guide, funny as she talking to me and Carly and she said somat and we both went 'Sounded just like Matt!!'ha ha.
37 - Morton Island - 6am start yawn!!! Caught ferry across to island and were picked up in 2 4WD's then drove along the beach onto the sand roads with roadsigns was really cool and journey so fun with the bumps we left our seats so many times and made us giggle all the way!!! Drove out to Northern Point and Honeymoon Bay,boogie boarded in the sea, was glorious and not many people around. Then onto the Blue Lagoon which is fresh water lake on the island, it was hot hot hot, lovely chilled out day, few drinks on the night met load of young aussies good chatting to them. Next day had bit of lie in then we were back in the 4WD's to go sandboarding which looked great but with me having contacts not a good idea!!! Then we climbed highest sand due in world - Tempest, great view but bit overcast, back down to the beach for the ferry and drive to Byron Bay. Arrived late so had takeaway pizza (mine and Nancy cook duty) easy one!!!!
38 & 39 - Byron Bay - Up early today, my arm and shoulder really painful so decided to give surf lesson a miss shame but hey ho cant do everything!!! Off into town for some retail therapy and Carly and me did 'Ladies who lunch' inbetween the shopping ha ha!!! Joe picked us up and drove us to the most easterly point of Australia and saw another sunset across the bay, really cool!!
40 - Port Maquire - Drove past a big shrimp and big banana today, aussies love their big things in their towns!!! We went to Dolphin and Seal park where we got pics of being kissed by both aw!!!!!!! Set up camp and then headed into town for meal at seafood restaurant, back at camp went for couple of drinks down the beach good chill night.
41 - Barrington Tops - Nice late start today, had lovely walk along the beach and up to view points of Port Maquire, really beautiful again. The east coast for me had been really memorable. Got to Barrington outdoor adventure place and had chill afternoon writing some post cards and downloading pics, was lovely looking back. Me and Carly had such laugh brought back lots of great moments and memories aww!! Last night and fancy dress party arranged by Donna or party organiser. What a laugh pics are fab!!! Great way to end the tour for sure.
42 - Lie in again great, then up and drive back to Sydney. Great not having to say bye to everyone as most of us were staying on and meeting up that night for food and of course to watch the England V Australia rugby match. Me, Carly, Donna, Lou and Sara were staying at good old Wakeup and Luanne, Nancy, Ana and Kemp at the Travel Lodge.
