Well such is life and in the end it really didn't matter we will get to Cooktown tomorrow. Oh, By t...

Hi Wondering how you keep a track of the good places to camp you come across or hear about in an organised way. I'm hopeless at organisation. POIs on a GPS, I haven't found a way to do that, mine is a Kogan, not even sure if it is possible.

I thought the grandkids might enjoy it better act...

Today we drove into Rockhampton from the west. A lot of you will know the round-about at the southern access to town.
