Time is a traveller!

I'm hoping that over the next several months I'm able to do a post now and then plus visit your blogs.
There will be a photo or two.
A few clues.
Be safe everyone.


“I love a sunburnt country,
 A land of sweeping plains,
   Of ragged mountain ranges,
       Of droughts and flooding rains.
I love her far horizons,
I love her jewel-sea,
Her beauty and her terror –
The wide brown land for me!”
― Dorothea Mackellar,


Rockhampton Sunset, Queensland.


Atherton Tablelands, Queensland.


 Cairns, Queensland.




Cape Tribulation Road.


From Tasmania the island to above Cairns in Queensland.
A long way!

    Looks as if you are off on another Australian adventure Margaret - I suspect you will be heading in a different direction this time - have a great trip.

    Beautiful. I have been taking a few long walks here in Montreal, as we have been having some really nice, but not humid, days and I am very much enjoying it.

    You should see some sunshine in Cairns, although it is not evident in your photos. I remember day after day of 27 degrees, midwinter.

    Have fun as I suspect you will in sunny FNQ.
    Long way - from Lauceston, across Bass Strait and then up to Cairns
    and beyond.
    I think like from Key Biscayne ( Florida) to above Montreal (Canada) or
    from Naples (Italy) to way up above Moscow (Russia).
    I don't envy Shanks one iota!
    I trust you will do the Newell routing in NSW and not that boring Pacific Highway???
    Cheers

      Yes up the Hume, then Newell now on the Bruce Highway towards Cairns..
      Shanks is doing well - he sleeps well at night :)

    Milestones are long in Australia, as I can see in your map (andI have heard and read) I hope a nice and rewarding journey, (but don't tire yourself) and lots of photos.
    These photos are wonderful, so different views of each other.
    Hugs
