Tuesday, Oct 25th, Yeppoon

Greetings!

Australia's coastal beaches have to be the easiest to photograph well.  They usually have white sand, several colors of blue water, many palm and other unique trees vying for skyspace, and clouds leftover from a night of lightning and thunder.

Every day, we wake up in a waterfront location deciding what combination of park, garden, museum, cave, beach, seaside town, marina, or mountain forest we want to see.  On the way, we choose restaurants, information centers, and libraries.

Since our last post on Sunday in Mackay (a great town well worth three days), we've spent our time in Yeppoon (four hours driving south).  We're still wrestling with technology, but seem to be back to having a cell phone that helps us find our way, photographs what we see, and can be used to make reservations for tours and dinner.  Lunch is usually found at a cafe while exploring, and breakfast starts off the day from grocery shopping at Woolworths.

Tomorrow, we drive four hours south to Bundaburg, whose bottled drinks we've had all over the country.  Then, on to Noosa Head and Brisbane.   I'm pretty sure we're flying to New Zealand just before America votes in its future in early November.  We already voted a month ago, and New Zealand sent in our ballots for free.  What a nice effort in support of democracy.
