Travelling around Australia in a motorhome. A story of our travels starting from NSW then through Queensland, across to Northern Territory and Western Australia, then to South Australia, Victoria and finally across the seas to Tasmania. We have enjoyed everywhere we have visited and look forward to setting off again in our motorhome.

Near Angus Waters 28 June 05

Stopped at Gladstone for a pub lunch. Enjoyed the harbour park in the rain. Gladstone has a large port infrastructure to handle the local aluminium and coal industries that gave it a glum appearance in the rain. The CBD is on top of a hill surrounded by industrial sites and the mud flats. While it contained a number of large hotels and motels, there were many vacant shops and it had a deserted air. The art gallery was more interesting, with a wonderful section devoted to some interesting aboriginal art. There was a bit on Gladstone the British PM, including one of his bags and a statue of him from Hyde Park in Sydney. We explored some beaches on the way out but the rain was starting to set in. We found a quiet corner out in the middle of nowhere, over looking fields of crops with one other motorhome. It was a very wet night but we are always very comfortable and can retreat to our books or watch a movie.
