Flora, Fauna and her Mate named Bonny




Finally back online after a 3 day hiatus. We have travelled up the coast as far as Coff's Harbour, about one quarter the distance to our target destination (Whitsunday Islands) ... and ... were done! We have relied on local advice for the majority of our destination decisions and relented to the overiding consensus that our original plan for driving was too aggressive for the time we have in Australia. Our experience has been that any right turn heading north on the pacific highway uncovers spectacular beaches and well appointed camp / resorts. We have been dodging bad weather bullets, apparently. our entire visit and the prospect of flooded roads and monsoon rains further north has us turning back south headed for another few days in our favourite spot so far at Bonny Hills.



Sand is so clean and fine on the beaches here it literally squeaks. The closest comparison I can think of for in the Canadian context is the way snow squeaks when walking on it at minus 40. Brrrrrr ..... banish the thought.... cooler weather is moving in here tomorrow down from 29 to 28 ...
