Finally a vacation!!!

We are finally done setting up the field sites in far north queensland and started our road trip to south of Brisbane (~1700 km). So we left the termite mounds of the Tablelands and headed south.

We have been driving for 3 days, checking out the sites. We are now in Bundaberg. The home of Bundy's rum. So we had to visit for a distillery tour. The best part for both Tim and I was the refreshing tastings at the end of the tour.

Then after relaxing in the air conditioned motel room, it is sooooo hot here, we went to the Mon Repos turtle roockery to check out the loggerhead laying their eggs on the beach. We arrived at 6:30pm and waited and waited.....

Until finally at midnight our turtle came into the beach.




The best part of the evening was watching this turtle head back out to sea and saw two more turtles coming in.
