Josephine Falls, with its natural rock waterslides, and stunning backdrop, we had a a fun time cooling off in the crystal clear waters.
Tori especially enjoyed herself and just did not stop climbing up the rocks and then sliding back down!
After a action packed day, we headed back to a great little camp that we had now stayed at 3 times for an overnight stay.
Rollingstones Campground, about 50km north of Townsville is a great spot with plenty of room, shade, and a creek running alongside.
The next day we headed back down towards Mackay where we enjoyed another swim in the man made lagoon in the town centre.
In Rockhampton we visited the free Zoo and watched the Chimpanzees being fed iceblocks to keep them cool in the rather warm weather.
We also watched a rather cheeky Chimp run up and down the glass knocking on it right infornt of us, playing games that I'm sure he was doing to entertain us!
Travelling long days, we had decided to make a big move down south with plans to cross the border into NSW within the week.
We stopped at a beautiful free camp along the Calliope river for the night and relaxed whilst watching the sunset.
We even saw our first ever Firefly!!! Super cool!!!!
From here we once ahead headed back to the Gold Coast so we could make the most of our theme park passes.
A few days were spent revisiting our favourite paeks and the girls and I had a go at negotiating the various balancing beams on the 3 level high Sky Walk.
After seeing the fire fly I was reminded of a place I had intended to see last time we was down in the southern QLD region.
Springbrook National Park and the Natural Bridge where not only is it meant to be breathtaking during the day, but also 1000's of glow worms light up the huge cave at night!
We drove up and down the winding steep roads and through some beautiful country sides.
Arriving at our free camp at Bochow Park for the night, complete with a large flowing deep creek, a big grassy area with a playground for the kids, it was a great spot to set up for the night.
As soon as the sun went down, we drove the short 4kms to Natural Bridge. A short walk later we arrived at the large cave. With a waterfall flowing directly through a large hole in the top, this place was just beautiful!
We spent atleast an hour watching as 1000's of glow worms lit up the cave. Amazing!
Early the next morning I once again headed back to this special spot to see it again, but this time in daylight. Again, it was just amazing and certainly one of my favourite places in QLD!
From here we drove the few short, winding kilometres to the QLD/NSW border!
After 16,427kms travelling QLD and a huge 53,263kms in total... We were finished exploring QLD and ready to start some new adventures in NSW!
