June 18th, 2019 Today was a full day of driving so we could make it to the launching point for the Whitsunday islands for our tour tomorrow. We stopped and got a bag salad from a grocery store for lunch and kept driving until we reached Arlie Beach. This was the nicest public park I…

Day 130 – East Coast, Australia
June 16th, 2019 We woke up and shuffled our stuff from the front to the back seats where we had our beds for the night and continued driving North. Not far into our drive, we stopped in the town of Noosa for some beaches and another hike for some exercise in between the driving. Noosa…

Days 127-128, Coffs Harbour, Australia
June 16th-14th, 2019 We spent the last 2 days at the resort just lounging. I didn’t miss a sunrise this week and it seemed as they kept getting more spectacular. I can’t help but to post more pictures because it was just so beautiful. We made our meals and I have to say that I…

Day 122-125, Coffs Harbour, Australia
June 8th – 11th, 2019 Today we woke up and Brendan boiled the water for one more cup of noodles on this car-camping marathon. I couldn’t bear the thought of another PB &J, so we skipped that part of what has become our normal breakfast routine. We were a couple hours from Coffs Harbour where…
