Gracemere


A whole week in one place seems like a lifetime after the traveling. I broke a tooth on a peanut and had to get it fixed at Rockhampton. O'Reilly Dental, High Street if you need a dentist in Rocky. Anyway, I had a temporary filling which will be replaced on Thursday with a permanent fix. In the meantime I have to be careful what I eat.
The Gracemere caravan park is 5 km outside Rockhampton. The weather is warm as you would expect as we are about 1 km north of the Tropic of Capricorn.
Today we went round the Rockhampton, Yeppoon, Emu Park tourist drive, stopping at the Singing Ship, see pic. The monument to Captain Cook's visit has holes in it that whistle when the wind blows - hence the singing ship. It is not a ship, the wind was not enough to make any noise, so it was all a bit of a let down really. The good news is we found Sea Glass at Yeppoon when we stopped for lunch.
