Friday 19th January 2007. From Fraser Island to Capricorn Caves.

Catching the first ferry back to Hervey Bay we get back on the road making our first stop in Gin Gin at the famous Traveller's Rest to sample their award winning pies.

Our lunch stop is the quite unique, and remote, Raglan Tavern.

Arriving this afternoon in Rockhampton we cross the Tropic of Capricorn and I am able to have a quick link onto the internet and catch up with some e-mails.

Capricorn Caves is to be our destination and on arrival I join a group to explore these over-ground limestone caves. The highlight of the tour is the Cathedral which is acoustically perfect. The cathedral is actually now a popular local venue for weddings.

Rockhampton is the Australian beef capital and so this evening the natural choice for dinner is beef.
