Although Gladstone is not exactly a place you would want to put on your bucket list, today we really enjoyed our drive from Hervey Bay, avoiding the Bruce Highway travelling thru Childers, Bundaberg, Rosedale and Miriam Vale on the Tableland Road; a huge blue dome of sunshine skies presented the nearby hills in ‘eucalypt blue hues’ until we arrived at Gladstone, and dinner at the local Yacht Club at dusk.
Wikipedia tells us the of the famous people from Childers is Margaret (Mollie) Laurance (nee Kirk) simply born at the little township before her family moved to nearby Bundaberg.
Tomorrow, Isabel says we are heading for Rockhampton and Yeppoon. Quite a task and so unlike travelling the Nullabor where you can easily do a thousand km in a day!!
