We are sitting here as the sun goes down, with strange bush turkeys hovering at our feet. Quite disconcerting when you see their beady little eyes, hungry for morsels. We have run into them before, but not quite as friendly or pushy as they are here at the Capricorn Caves (previously the Mt Etna Caves), 24km north of Rockhampton.
Arrived here about 3pm after stopping in Rockhampton to visit our friendly Foodworks.
Our previous camp just out of 1770 (the town) and Agnus Waters, was in the Eurimbula NP, called middle Creek. It is an obscure fishing location that we hoped no-one bothered to drive out to, and we were pretty much right. We weaved our way through tiny, and i mean tiny, sand/dirt tracks that took us for 19km, out to the mouth of the very tidal Middle Creek. But gee when we got there was it worth it! Even now we are amazed that we managed to find such an isolated campsite, only 30km or so from the very touristy Agnus Waters/1770.
Our camp was up high on a headland looking out over the ocean and Middle Creek, 300 degrees of water. Just gorgerous! Anyway I will be sure to post some photos soon so you can all photoshop yoursleves in.....
