A little hung over, I register the same time early in the new year with you, for the second update of my little travel diary. First of all I wish my readers, of course, first of all a happy new year and good luck and perseverance in the enforcement of your intentions.
Before I tell you about the trip, I must first be something else going on ...
I knew of course that you plan a complete trip can not, you can only put a few destinations that you would like to see or visit, and the was about it, because in the end everything always turn out differently than expected. So it was this time. Even though I've set up a little rainy weather, with such floods have still not taken even the Australians. The east coast is under water: D The rivers from the domestic market, the whole mass of water to the coast, which was not prepared for such a situation. The worst floods in 60 years, people have been evacuated from their homes by helicopters, parts of the city from the outside world cut off, roads and bridges are flooded and we are in the middle of things instead of this:)
As you can see just again how powerful nature is.

day trips planned for the next day, but we had the coast temporarily leave and head home to the heartland where we have looked at the "Ebor Falls.

Dorrigo National Park |
Our next trip took us to Ballina where we started our next day trip. Also this time we landed back at a free campsite, which cost us a parte for a stay of $ 50 to $ 70 a second time. Meanwhile, we've slept 3 times, the remaining nights we spent at campgrounds. It should not listen to that one can park his motorhome where you will, quite the opposite. As soon as one ENVISAGES his motorhome in a prohibited place and get caught, penalties are payable in the amount of up to $ 500 dollars.

On our next trip to the north, past numerous banana and sugar cane plantations, we have inserted due to poor weather forced a stop in Moololaba, for here was in all leaders of the three travel yet so great "Underwater World" Park advised that not only was a pure time, but with $ 32 admission per person a total waste of money. Naja was fortunately this "attraction" is not on my personal itinerary:)

now has in the past 2 days, the sun fought through more and more and we hope that the weather will remain on the up and up. Even though I'm here always written by rainy weather, the few hours in which the sun is already the cloud cover has fought, still enough to make my family a strong sunburn to miss.
After we finally crossed the flooded Rockhampton on the Fitzroy River, we could then New Years Eve and New Year's Eve last carefree stay in the town Yeppon, a few miles north of Rockhampton, Australia in a friendly community. If we are already in the Bundaberg Rum was not available, then offered "Bob the builder" my brother and me plenty of.
Because only persons with a specific license in Australia buy fireworks, the slip into the new year this time was relatively quiet. Only the cities organize for its residents, tourists, etc. large fireworks, which are guided by special companies.
