Mackay

3 hour drive to Mackay from Rockhampton,  fog 8.00am to 9.00am

fog cleared and we could see .....more vans

and beautiful scenery... Bruce highway, sugar cane and mountains in the background, (just for a change, ha ha) there were about 500 photos to choose from..... not really, but Sharon took heaps

 

3 hours later we are in Mackay and looking for our new home for the next 3 days.

Driving to Eungella (pronounced youngella) National Park, 100ks West of Mackay

this treasure of  a place is on the fringe of the national park.... 

.......is a small beach village called Seaforth, it would be like living in Paradise if the temperature stayed at 25 degrees all year round

 

Now for a one hour drive back to Moana caravan park and get ready to move on tomorrow to Airlie beach.
