Rockhampton

After leaving Cape Palmerston we headed to Rockhampton for a night. We went to the botanical gardens with a zoo with Chimpanzees who came to the window and looked out at us.
We went to sizzler for lunch, Three trips to the salad bar and I had two trips to the dessert bar!

1770

we headed to 1770 we arrived late. In the morning we walked along the beach stopping at two playgrounds. In the afternoon we went on a Larc. A larc is a car and a boat used in the army. It was built in 1965. I did the splashdown. A splashdown is when you go up the mudflats then you blast down the flats and into the water. I saw a kangaroo and an emu.

Hervey Bay
We went to the Bundaberg rum factory for dad to do the tour. Afterwards we went to Hervey Bay.
The caravan park wanted us to set up on a slab but we ended up getting a grassed unsite site at a different park.
We went to Fraser Island. We drove the car and got a ferry across.
We went on a whale watching tour. We saw whales slapping their tails on the water.

We went to Australia zoo on Bindi Irwins birthday. We saw Koalas, kangaroos and turtles.
We saw the crocodile show. It was in the Crocoseum and they fed the crocodiles.
