We are now at Tannum Sands, just south of Gladstone visiting friends for a couple of days. From Nambour we drove up through Maryborough and Bundaberg, then turned off the Bruce Highway to spend a couple of days at 1770, a town named after Captain Cook's landing there in 1770. The area is not so built up, being more isolated, so we enjoyed the natural bush setting at the caravan park and having less travellers around like ourselves. We will be heading up through Gladstone to Rockhampton and Emu Park on Saturday. EF
