It was an absolute scorcher when we arrived in Rockhampton and all of us were far too hot in the car so as soon as we arrived into the city we went to a big outdoor swimming pool (as you cant go in the sea without a stinger suit on). We only stayed one night in the city and we think the campsite owner forgot to tell us that there were thunderstorm warnings that night... the bastard! When we got back to our tents after the cinema the heavens poured and continued to pour the whole night, the lightening was incredible and the thunder was so scary, we were glad when that night was over.
Yeppoon was a lovely little place. It is where you catch the ferry to go to the Great Keppel Islands, which was where we were originally going to go until we found out the cost of it and that most things have closed down on the island! They are trying to make it into an exclusive resort. So instead we decided to go fishing for the day, the sun was shinning and we found a nice little spot by the river and near the sea. We caught 9 fish between us all, but Greg definately won by catching 5 of them and catching the biggest. The only negative was the amount of mosquito bites we came away with!!!! The little buggers!!! Next new job... to find a way to kill all mosquitos.
