Janet and John Do Rockhampton Day 3

We had another action packed day in and around Rockhampton.

I started off going solo whilst Janet and her Mum went shopping. I went for a slow stroll around the main high street in Rocky as well as exploring the riverfront with the oldest buildings in town.

Rockhamptons riverfront is a great insight into early Queensland colonial development, it feels almost unchanged in 150 years, well bar the pleasant boardwalk added along the river.

I managed to squeeze in a cheeky scooner (okay pint...) before heading off to lunch with Janet's dad's brother, sister and other family.

In the afternoon we scaled Mount Archer just outside Rocky (in a car unfortunately, I'd have loved to walk up) for some amazing views.

We then headed back to Janet's folks for a lovely walk in the Botanical Gardens to see the sunset over the lagoons. I have to say Australia certainly knows how to do sunsets!
