Hi. Well i know its been a just over a week since i have updated. Bloody country towns are not good for mobile internet service.
I have spent the last week in Mount Morgan and Yeppon, both just out of Rockhampton.
Mount Morgan is an old Gold Mining Town. The mine ran from 1883 to 1981 and was the largest Gold Mine in the world. They pulled over 8m oz of gold out of the mountain.
Photos coming soon.
I left Mount Morgan this morning and have started on my way to Townsville. Have stopped in Proserpine for the night.
Chat to you all soon
