The trip for day started out as ‘just nipping out to the H’way’ to meet up with a mate of Gordon’s from Bundaberg … yeh, right! We got to the roadhouse as arranged to see Allan just heading out – a quick phone call later and it was arranged that we’d stop at the next place that sold coffee … yeh, right! Got to the next place but it didn’t look too flash so it was onto the Ettamogah which was only a few k’s up the road according to the guys … yeh, right! Bloody miles later (goodness only know’s where these guy’s got their sense of distance!!) and it was too late for morning coffee so we had to have lunch! Having lunch won’t take any longer than having coffee … yeh, right! All in all it took us 3 hour’s to meet up with Alan!! Then there was the 2 ½ hour trip home via Donnybrooke and Toorbul – which was really goo actually. In the meantime I’d arranged to meet my mate Val at Bribie but only got to see them heading out onto the motorway as we were heading home!!!
Donnybrooke is a little fishing village on the other side of the Pumicestone Passage across from Bribie Island. It’s tidal with the tide out when we were there but looked like a great place for a lazy few days camping if that was what you were wanting.
Can you spot the Kookaburra? I haven't seen that many of them - heaps of crows and Ibis (the crows are scarey when they get too close to you - I'm not keen!!)
Further south along the same coast is Toorbul. Bigger than Donnybrooke and a lot closer to Bribie – we could see the Bridge to Bribie Island. Didn’t stop there but liked the beach feel to the place.
July is almost over – hopefully the worst winter month gone for another year …
