Up close and personal, Christine feeds the elephant at Australia Zoo, they have several.

One of 3 tiger cubs 18 months old, they were so cute but at $80 for a stroke and photograph we just stayed with our own snaps.

Yes he's gone but not forgotten. He left a big legacy for Australians.

The most photographed pub in Oz. It appeared in the newspaper cartoons for many decades. You have to see it to believe it

Watching the Hump Backed whales and calves off of Hervey Bay. It was great to have them come so close by their choosing.

A tour of the Bundaberg ginger beer outlet, never knew there was soo many flavours.

A lovely waterfall in Kershaw gardens Rockhampton

A wind memorial to Capt Cook at Emu Point. When the sea wind blows (all the time) it blows across the organ styled vertical pipes and makes a natural tune.

Yes its them again and no they haven't grown up still. They spent 3 hours with 38 others causing chaos around the town and suburbs of 1770. And they were the oldest bikies there by a long way however they were still up near the front when it came to the speed sections.

Sunset across the river at the front of our caravan park in the town 1770. It is a very beautiful place to visit if you can.

One of the many muriurls in the town of Bowen

A very interesting spider at Paronella

Paronella park a place just so amazing. The Spanish gent who built it worked 13 years on sugar cane farms to make his money then bought the 13 acres of land and built by hand his own castle. There is just soo much to see that it is not possible to tell it all here but you can visit their web site and read. The gentleman died in 1948 and the place already had its own hydo electric power while the hotel down the road was still using candles. His granddaughter was married in the grounds just a few years ago. We stayed here for two days and explored extensively.

Rare micr bats found in the grounds in the tunnel of love.

A glimpse of the castle illuminated at night with fountains powered by the river.

An early breakfast for two by the lake with the natural waterfall in the background. The lake continues as a river and is full of snapping Turtles, giant eels and well developed sooty grunter fish.

The giant gum boot at Tully. Tully claims to be the place that has the highest rainfall in Queensland
