Into the thick of Queensland

(As we are on the road, content on our blog will often look rushed, like we might be running out of battery on our laptop.) (A Quick disclaimer for the previous post:)

We stayed at a small town last night, where we saw our first cane toads. When the boys excitedly found the first one, I got the camera out, but as you can imagine, he was fairly uninteresting. Made more so by the 80 or 90 that we saw in the next ten minutes! We are now in Airlie Beach, in the Whitsundays, though we haven't been here long enough to look around yet. Either our turkey mates are following us, or there are millions of them everywhere you go. Yesterday at our fuel stop, we encounted an emu which very much wanted to know what was going on in our car much to the boys delight. When we have had a look around, and have some pics, I will put them up. We are trying to find a good Island to live on for a few days.  - Jon.

The Journey Begins!!

Here are the boys in a tree at Wreck rock, just below 1770. This is the best place any of us have ever been i think. It really is paradise.

We got very badly bogged and had to camp the night by the car before being rescued by the NRMA. Seamus took the opportunitty to make a little mud man, which he left for the next people. Magnus just got muddy.

This lizard and his turkey mate were our pets in the first national park we stayed at in Queensland. We stayed for 3 days before moving off to

This is at the bottom of Mt Warning.

We're ready to go!!!!

Tomorrow is the last day of shcool, and we're heading off for 4 months around Australia. Should be a bit of blogging as we go, but just showing you all our car canopy which Danielle and I made. It opens on three sides, to get stuff in and out easily
