GLADSTONE

Departing our camp at "Wallum Reserve" around 8:45am we headed into Bundaberg to do some food shopping at the ALDI supermarket, which is apparently the last ALDI store heading northwards up the coast. In Bundaberg we also posted some knitting to Canberra that Lesley had sold on EBAY. Heading  northwards we passed through some huge fruit, vegetable and sugarcane crops and past through Watalgan, Rosedale, Berajondo and Miriam Vale. We started to head down towards Agnes Waters and the town of 1770, but as it was getting late we decided to stop at Miriam Vale for a coffee stop and then head to our overnight camp alongside the Boyne River at a camp called "Boyne River Rest Area" (photo) about 20kms south of Gladstone. We were going to carry on to "Caliope River Rest Area", but as it was already 3:30pm and that was a further 20kms we decided that we had travelled far enough today already. Digital TV and Telstra mobile coverage is good here, but Vodafone mobile & internet coverage is very poor.
