Day 63 Wednesday 28/7/21 Mulambin, Sunny 24 The Prado’s and the Nuthin’s go to Gracemere east of Rockhampton to see the cattle saleyards in action. We bow out as we have been before, though it is a must see when in Central Queensland.

I pull the mattress aside, jam a torch into the space and reach in with a chopstick. Too short. A long … Continue reading Capricorn Dancers, Day 60 – Going where no one has been before

Day 58 Friday 23/7/21 Mulambin, warm 24 Woody is up early to walk into Yeppoon. A whopping 15kms as the walking path is winding and twice as long as the road. It’s also a lovely day for a gentle stroll … Continue reading Capricorn Dancers, Day 58 – Forward March!
