Here are the pictures from our second backpacking trip. go though all pages in the photo album

This trip was 10 days long. We went to areas north of Surfers, our home base. We stopped for a night in Bundaberg, then went to see the rum distillery. After that we bussed up to Rockhampton where we stayed the night. The next morning we went SCUBA diving. The SCUBA instructor dropped us off at Great Keppel Island where we stayed one night. From there we caught a ferry back to the mainland, and rode on a bus out to Dingo to the Namoi Hills Cattle Station. We stayed here four nights. While there we made a didgeridoo from a yellow stringy bark tree and mined for sapphires.
