Kroombit to Airlie Beach
11 hours on the bus today...and the small bus, jam packed. We shake off the dirt and leave the cattle station...good times..Today we go thru jambin...little town big pub,next up Rockhampton.

Next stop is at the Tropic of Capricorn, the actual latitude line...and we head off with lots of info about the Great Barrier Reef..1500 miles long largest living thing in the world..etc...didn't know the rain forest here in Aussie was the oldest in the world either....tons of info..

oh forgot Rockhampton is the beef capital of Oz and there are statues of cows everywhere and tons of cowboys....and good steaks..

Next is Sabrina and Lawn balls, bowling...big sport here, social outing for the young and old alike, a bit like bocce but with weighted balls and very competitive, and it's st Patty's and they were celebrating so we got green beer and balloons!! even more fun than the lawn balls...back on the road again and headin to Airlie for big night out for StPatty's fun!!
