2020 Holidays Continues

Posted on by Welly's Wine and Travel Adventures

The journey continued, I got to Queensland and realised I really needed to slow down and have a proper break and the gorgeous weather helped in that regard.

July 9, a day before the border to Queensland opened. Free camping just outside Moree.
July 10. The oldest pub in Queenelsand. Nearly got bogged as it bucketed down with rain at 2am and turned everything into a mud pit.
Lunch on the way! Beauty of a camper trailer with a slide out fridge.
Great spot in Townsville.
Castle Hill lookout overlooking Magnetic Island.
Wallamans Falls. Highest in Australia apparently. This was a quick stop as I was on my way to Mission Beach for lunch.
On my way back down the coast, the General Gordon Hotel offers a place to park and have awesome pub food.
First time I took the Evo on the beach at Yeppoon.
Rainbow Beach was spectacular, as was the view from the pub.
Bundaberg Rum factory, due to Covid there were no tours but still got to look inside.
Camping on a cattle station at Longreach. 35 degrees every day meant I certainly needed to keep my fluids up.
Roma Gun Club. Just an over night stay on the way to the Gold Coast. Every Thursday members do clay shooting so if you pick the right time it would be quite an entertaining arvo.

With nearly 3000 videos and photos taken over the course of the holidays it was simply an amazing trip and one which I won’t get another chance till I retire. I managed to catchup with my relatives in Noosa who I haven’t seen in decades and made life long friends who have offered a place to stay whenever I visit, both in New South Wales and Queensland.

So what now? Well it’s back to work and after having my eyes well and truly opened, I’ve decided to mix both my wine passion with my new love for 4×4, so I’ll be starting up a 4×4 Build of the Ford Everest in the new year and taking it to various places for some terrific scenery and wine tasting experiences. Plus if can get it together you’ll be able to follow on YouTube as well.

Merry Christmas everyone and thanks for following my journey!
