Day 17-18 June 23-26 Rockhampton-Finch Hatton Gorge, Eungella National Park (Mckay) 390km

Picked up Greta and Sullivan at the airport in Rockhampton after their return from the short side trip to Canberra for Sullivan to run in his state cross-country race. Sullivan came 2nd....yeah Sullivan.

Left it a bit late leaving Rockhampton but made it to Finch Hatton Gorge, Eungella National Park just west of Mckay. We found our destination just as it was getting dark - Platypus Bush Camp and wow! it is great. Wazza owns the place and has been building it up over the last 20 years. It is in low level rainforest and is just beautiful. There is a swimming hole, platypus viewing pool and some great walks to the nearby Araleun waterfall. There were some other kids there so that was fun for Sullivan and Jules.

Araluen Falls




There were numerous short crossings to get over the creek. The kids loved it and we all thought we were pretty cool to drive our city 4WD through the river!
