Because we liked Elliott Heads and Bargara so much when we visited yesterday we went back today. It was another glorious day and we decided to dust off the kayaks and go for paddle in the estuary (Elliott River). It was a good day, John tried fishing but only caught a small flathead so threw it back. We then drove to Bargara Beach to grab a coffee. This coast here in Bundaberg is quite stunning and along with Coolangatta/Tweed Heads is one of the few spots in Qld we would could think about living in for a while (haven’t seen any cane toads yet). Compared to Busso houses here near the beach front are quite a bit cheaper. Tomorrow we leave Bundaberg to head north but are diverting inland (220kms west) to a national park called Cania Gorge National Park. It is near a town called Monto. The national park has a caravan park right on the edge of the park that allows dogs and we figured as we have so few opportunities to go into national parks with Coco we should go and see it. Heaps of wildlife venture into the park and the gorge is formed from sandstone with ochre sands and many overhangs. It sounds really nice and has had some good reviews. Lake Cania is nearby and is well stocked with fish and you are able to kayak on it. From there we will head north east to Glasdstone and then to Rockhampton.
