Camilla, Queensland on our way to Rockhampton.

Camilla in Queensland has a population of about 400 people.  There is a service station plus food, we often call to get some chips and maybe fish at the roadhouse.

These flowers are beautiful in colour and are a nice contrast against the blue and the colour of the road.

The old house, still no one lives in it and each year it looks worse.

From Bowen to Mackay, Queensland

After spending several weeks in Bowen we headed back down to Mackay to stop for a few days.

The photos below are of Slade Point and it's new building.  Been up there several times to look at the view and to watch the whales going north in Winter, this past winter we did it once again as it had been closed for about 1 year.
We saw some whales and came across some friends who used to live near home in Tasmania.
It's been several years since we had seen them and by sheer chance they were where we were, the photo of them their dog and one of their grandchildren is below.
We ended up having dinner at their house that evening, so good to catch up on all the news.

Photos are of the sea in and around Mackay and also the Wharf.
