So we have arrived at Yeppoon, we are staying at a Big4 near Mulambin Beach. It's 8kms from Yeppoon, which is about 30kms from Rockhampton on the coast. We were recommended the area by the man who ran the park that we stayed at last night near 1770.
The park was in the bush, we tried to get into every place near 1770 or even Agnes Waters but had no luck. We even checked out a free camp site but when Pheobe took it upon herself to chase the 'Big Lizard' or what most people call a Goanna, I said to Trent that I couldn't stay there! Anyway, we had some time to check out 1770 (where in May 1770 Captain Cook landed on Qld soil for the first time). It was a lovely place near great beaches and lookouts. Had some time for a play at the park and an icy pole each. We had dinner at the Agnes Waters Tavern which was good too.
Before we left Bundaberg we did a tour of the rum distillery. It was really interesting and yes of course Trent and Krista did the taste test at the end! We could actually have 2 test tastes but because of driving we only had one each - Shame it was nice! And yes Luke - Krista actually drank the RUM and enjoyed it!!! The kids thought it was fun to visit the place where they make the drink that Uncle Luke likes! Pheobe even pointed out all the collectable cans that she has seen at Luke's house!
This was the 1st Bundy bear that we came across. They sure know how to have a good time!

Kids playing at the park at the town of 1770.
The view from the park at 1770. The tide is out as you can see.
Guess what they are doing here??? They all thought it would be funny to do!
This is what they were suppose to be doing with the icy poles!
Anyway, that's about all of the photo's we have for now. The place we are staying at is rather good. The kids flushed the toilet tonight and discovered a green frog coming out of the toilet, so that was a little crazy for them. Maurice said he isn't going to that toilet again!!! Pheobe just couldn't believe that it was in there! We are looking at going over to Great Keppel Island at some stage and we are also going to go back into Rockhampton for a look around and maybe a meal at the Great Western Hotel - Lee Kernaghan territory!!! We will be here for tonight, Sunday night and Monday night, so good time to explore and see the area.
The weather seems to be getting warmer during the day time, but still rather cold at night. We are using a heater just to take the chill off most nights!
Best be going now for some sleep, Flick still hasn't got it right yet. She ended up in bed with us last night for at least half the night. I (being Krista) could really do with some sleep, it's getting to me now! I've cleaned up after our roast chicken and veg for dinner tonight, so it's time for some sleep.
Hope everyone is keeping well and enjoying the blog!
Oh, must say congrats to Kim and Grant on the arrival of their new baby girl Coco, we are so excited for you all and hope things are going well. And, a quick Happy Birthday to Grandma McCarthy for yesterday too.
Until the next blog, take care everyone!
Love & Friendship Always,
The Guye Gang! TKPMF xoxoxoxoxo
