Bowen - Mackay

13th September - 20th September 2012

We spent two nights at Bowen which was great, getting the kayaks back in the water. Out in the kayaks we had two turtle's around us. Then went out to Kinchant dam for a couple of nights, then up to Finch Hatton Gorge and Eungella National Park. We did  a lot of hiking around Finch Hatton and Eungella, beautiful places. Back to Kinchant dam for one more night before heading back into Mackay for more appointments and to try to co ordinate our trip further south.
                                                                 Finch Hatton Gorge

View from Eungella, road was extremely steep. At one stage we were going up in 1st gear. Really thick fog rolled in at night, felt like we were back at Kinglake.
Did the Rainforest walk at Broken River, were we saw a snake at the start of the circuit and then a goanna half way along the track, so Mark was made to take the lead on that walk.

At Broken River you can see platypus, we didn't see any but there was heaps of turtles in the water.
At kinchant dam, we fed Diane's girls (the peacocks and guinea fowls) they would eat out of our hands.
