No caves today, just five hours of driving, with Jemima entertained by Frozen (again), and games of noughts and crosses; and a very welcome McDonalds lunch, including free face painting! Paid for by McDonalds apparently, and she did a brilliant job. And then we arrived in lovely Hervey Bay.
Jemima and I walked to the local shop for provisions (via the campsite's jumping pillow, always a hit), while Kevin recovered from the drive; then we had salads outside the van watching enormous bats fly overhead, and trying to ignore the mossies. Then inside for a well-deserved ice cream and Frozen magazine from the shop for Jemima, after being so patient during two long days of driving.
And now we're here, we are over half way on our trip between Cairns and Sydney, distance wise; but less than half way time wise, which means we're doing well. We'll see what Hervey Bay has in store tomorrow.
A sign post at our Rockhampton campsite showing exactly where we'd come from and how far to go:
