Coast trip!

Ok. I've posted some pics of home. What alot of people don't realise is just how far away far North QLD is (and i mean FAR) from Brisbane. So at the end of the summer holidays I agreed to test it. A friend and I packed up his good old 1990 Corolla (it's a BEAST!) and tested the theory of just how far it really is. Drove all the way down the coast from just north of Cairns right into the heart of Brisbane...yes all 1700kms of it.

Stopped to check out heaps of places like Cardwell, Airlie Beach (schoolies haunt for north QLD kids), Mackay, Bundaberg, Gin Gin (and had the best steak ever), Tin Can Bay, Rainbow Beach and finally.........BRISBANE!

Was actually a pretty cool road trip coz I've never done the whole coast before. Saw some interesting parts of Australia...and some not so interesting (trees, trees, dirt, trees, dirt...). All in all, a great road trip. Think I'll make a kind donation to Jetstar next time I want to head back up north though :)
