With another auctioned packed day ahead off us Janet and I set off early for a trip to Rockhampton Zoo in the Botanical Gardens. It was closed off in a lot of places for renovation work, but as it was free we couldn't complain too much!
They did least have some kangaroo. Proving to me once an for all that they're not a myth....
Next up was the Archer Park railway museum.

bizarrely this was recommended to us by a tram driver in Melbourne as it contains the only remaining working steam tram in the world. We especially went along on a Sunday as it's the only day it runs. Yes I am sad!
Next up was a trip to the seaside! Firstly to Yeppoon for yummy fish and chips then along the coast to Emu Park for the Festival of the Wind. A family day on the beach with many kites. First though we stopped to view the plot where Janet's folks are building their new house. The views are amazing!
The Festival of the Wind was a treat with lots of niknak stalls and a little funfair along with kites being flown on the beach.
We escaped the crowds by heading up the coast slightly for a dip in the sea
For our last evening in Rockhampton, Andrew cooked up a steak BBQ, a fitting end for now in the beef capital of Australia.
