Thursday 24th May - Friday 25th May 2012 - Rockhampton & Mackay & Airlie Beach

We spent the morning in Rockhampton getting some supplies. As it was close to lunchtime we stopped in a Red Rooster for some lunch. The kids got a paper model kit to make of famous landmarks around the country - and what did they get?? They got the Bell Tower in Perth!
We drove onto a place called Smalleys Beach which was in a National Park. The campsite was a short walk from the beach. It had continued to rain so we put up the annex and the walls and decided that we would stay for a few days.
Unfortunately after a morning spent doing school work 2 Backpackers came along and said they had booked our site for a week. When I finally got onto the camping booking office (I had patchy reception) they said that the whole park was booked out for the next 3 days! Bummer!! We had not choice but to pack up quickly and hit the road again. We drove onto Airlie Beach and had to book into a caravan park. The weather was still wet and rainy! Due to the sudden move we got an lucy snack at 4pm!
It continued to rain overnight so no good views of the Whitsundays!
