Tourist Guide

This was one of our coolest stops on our road trip to Cairns.

Would definitely return and stay in Rockhampton for longer.

An amazing Church right in the centre of this large City. Half way between the Queensland border and the top of Queensland.

The natural slide at this water hole just outside Springsure in Queensland.

A nice deep waterhole to stretch out in after a long day driving! Just outside Springsure in Queensland.

Pacific or White Necked Heron. I have labeled this Springsure and that was certainly the town, but this little waterhole with natural slide is right by the highway. Problem is, I can't remember which end of town - it is just out of town, so if you didn't pass it on the way in, it is the other end - but would be worth asking a local in case the current weather conditions mean it either isn't running or is dangerous. Beautiful spot for a swim, some bird watching and a picnic.
