Rockhampton & the Capricorn Coast – Yeppoon I thought that I’d leave this area until last on our virtual tour of Queensland’s coast. The reason being that we have spent so many winters on the Capricorn Coast. You could say … Continue reading The Places we Love – Yeppoon

Day 65 Wednesday 12/7/2023 Mulambin, windy 14 – 22 Woody walks into Yeppoon. Elle and I drive in as I need to have an injection and Elle needs a chemist.

But … Continue reading Yackety Yack, Days 65 & 66 – Peripatetic Septuagenarians
