Australia Budget

It was towards the end of September 2016 and it was the Brisbane river fire fireworks display. The event was a free event which meant every man and his dog was going. Little did I expect how busy it was to be. Indeed every man and his dog turned out for the annual celebrations.

So we were coming to the end of our 2-week tour up to the northern tropics of Queensland.  Stopping off at the tourist town of Hervey Bay. Hervey Bay is a typical spot for tourists both young and old heading over to Fraser Island.

Lake Wivenhoe, well this huge, and I mean huge dam. Had to release millions and millions of gallons of water back in 2011. This lead to some of the worst flooding the area had ever seen.

Ryan was our tour guide, and we did the ‘Convicts and Colonials’ tour. Ryan was knowledgeable and I mean really knowledgeable. He knew everything about this subject and so much more. It was so interesting listening to the stories and facts he had about the town he clearly loves.

These gardens were beautiful; it was a calm, warm autumns day in the Hervey Bay area, and it was a perfect day to walk around a glorious garden such as this.

Neither of us knew what we were expecting, a gorge, what exactly is a gorge but we were up for a little bit of walking, and we thought instead of googling it like others possibly would; we would take the plunge, well a walk really and see what this was all about.
