Mystery Craters?

Mystery CratersMystery Craters
Billed as Australia's most baffling phenomenon, the Mystery Craters is certainly an unusual rock formation of evenly blended red ochre and colored sandstone.

At a roadhouse stop we met Ken and Helen Harris on their way to the Brisbane to Gold Coast rally. They'll be joined by rallyists from other capital cities around Australia to support the Variety Club benefits for the needs of underprivileged and handicapped children.

We wish Ken and Helen good luck and safe rallying.

Green Tree Frog - ProtectedPoisonous Cane Toad - Introduced Pest

One of these is a protected species while the other is a noxious introduced pest.

Do you know which is which?

Float the mouse over the picture to find out which is which.

Tropical Caravan Park is about 5km south of MacKay on the highway. Our cabin was in the back so the highway noise did not pose a probem.

The cabin at Tropical needed some airing out of musty odors when we got there. The park is recently under new ownership and is recovering from being severely run down.

Rockhampton - Tropic of Capricorn

The Tropic of Capricorn is the imaginary line that demarks the furthest south you can be to observe the sun's zenith directly overhead. At this latitude this occurs only at summer solstice.
