Year 2, Week 19 – From the Tropics to the City
Saturday morning we left Townsville after having a very enjoyable three weeks there. With just one week to get down to Brisbane for our next work stint, we had quite a few kilometres to cover — starting the trek back down south.
Year 2, Weeks 17 & 18 – Island Escapes and Rockin’ Nights
The next few weeks were a busy time of work for Ryan. With the humidity slowly creeping up, it certainly made him work extra hard! Rachael worked from the van but managed to go for a walk up through the Jezzine Barracks and along The Strand most days.
Year 2, Weeks 11 & 12 – From Moranbah to Finch Hatton Gorge
This blog post covers two weeks, as Week 11 was pretty uneventful! We rolled into Moranbah and started work for the next couple of weeks. Ryan ended up finishing his work quicker than anticipated, so we managed to leave early — which meant more time to go exploring before our next stint in Mackay.
Year 2, Week 10 – Gorge Walks, Free Camps & New Horizons
Monday morning, we hit the road in the direction of Carnarvon Gorge — about 470km from Gladstone. The plan was to find a roadside stop roughly halfway for the night, but that turned out to be easier said than done! Most of the gravel pit roadside stops were really overgrown and sitting right on the edge of the road. We’re not usually picky with our camps, but none of these felt right.
