3 August, 2011

We're about 20km from the Bruce H’way (equivalent to our SH1) and it's the only way to get to anywhere so we’ve been along that road many times - so many times now I’ve lost count!!   Today we decided to have a decent look down the side roads and do some exploring.

First left was down to Sandstone Point which has some historic Aboriginal middens (not that we stopped to look at them - middens are cooking ovens if you didn't already know!!) then onto Godwins Beach which also has historical significance with tours going there because it dates back to the last ice age sorry can't tell you any more than that!!) 



Can you see the Ibis feeding?  Nobody like the Ibis bird but I quite like them ...

Then onto Beachmere and round to the caboolture River …



                         Checking out the GPS to see how to get out of here ... !!

We followed the Caboolture River till we got back onto the main road.  There were lovely glimpses of the river with boats moored and a boat yard with heaps of yatchs and other craft stored in it’s yard.   There's that boat thing again!!

After we’d had coffee at the top end of the road we’d run out of time which meant we only managed to get down the first side road coming back.  That led to the Abbbey Museum which warrants another visit so watch this space …

Still got a few more side road to have a squizz at but I’m thinking they’re going to be more estuary therefore more mud flats and there’s only so many mad flats you can visit that hold your interest!!
