Our travels over the past three months.

A beautiful morning at Yamba as we reach the Pacific Ocean.

Yamba Lighthouse is a long way from Cape Leeuwin.

Sandstone rocks at Yamba

Tea-tree oil plantation near Maclean.

Sugar cane at Harwood

The Clarence River bridges – it is nice they have kept and integrated the old bridge into the road system. Heading north from Yamba uses the old bridge.

It is nearly 400km to home today on mostly 4 to 6 lane freeways.

St Helena Tunnel near Byron Bay

Plunkett mallee (Eucalyptus curtisii) at a roadside stop is endemic to SE Qld.

We cross the border into Queensland at Tugun – our 6th state border crossing over the past 13 weeks.

We cross the Brisbane River on the Gateway Bridge with only less than 100km to travel to home out of the 25000km in this journey.

Thank you for sharing our journey with us – we have crossed the continent twice and look forward to our next adventure. I hope you will be inspired to visit (or revisit) some of the gems from our travels. A rewarding three months seems tantalisingly brief – there is so much more to experience across our great land.

And the best thing we saw? We found beauty at every turn.
