Our first stop on this northern trip was Cooyar.
We don't usually go up the coast road, but we had a friend in Hervey Bay to visit. We had a lovely couple of days at Urangan, punctuated with uni work.

Next stop was Bundaberg for the weekend to see family. Dazz noticed a nail in the tyre when we stopped to do some shopping...
We spent a week with friends in Rockhampton. We got the tyre repaired at the same place we went to a year ago. We also got the air conditioner in the car fixed. (It stopped working before we left, but coming up to Easter there was no chance of getting it looked at, making for a very unpleasant few days of driving north!). Dazz had a part delivered that also got the horn working again. In between all of that we both had marking, Dazz helped with some construction and I did some yard work.
We overnighted in Sarina and walked around the town.
We both had a week and a half of marking to do, so I decided we needed somewhere that was nice to keep the motivation up. Crystal Creek Caravan Park at Mutarnee had good reviews on WikiCamps, the photos looked really nice, and they had a weekly rate that made it a bit more economical. It turned out to be a real winner!
