HUUUUGE drive

Got away just before 8 this morning, heading for The Caves. For some reason we didn't do them when we were at Yeppoon two years ago. The were awesome! We had quite a small group so the guide took us through some extra caves that they don't normally visit on the hourly tour. Glad we did it this time of year while the bats are further north.

We decided to head  into Rocky and have lunch at Kershaw Gardens, by the waterfalls. We were so disappointed that the entire site has been shut down after cyclone Marcia uprooted trees and exposed old landfill, and they don't look like reopening at all. 

Snap decision to find somewhere to make a quick sandwich and head to Hervey Bay. We can totally do an 800km day. 

By the time we arrived at Emma's aunt and uncles, it was 7pm. 11 hours!!!! Thank god the road was a whole lot better than two years ago. I was knackered, the kids were incredible(admittedly they had the ipad for a good portion of the trip and ingested a kilo of strawberries among other things). 

Why push and go so far in the day? Mischief is afoot!
