My original intention was to spend the night in Mackay and then go on to Rockhampton the next day, but I was in Mackay by about 12:30 so I did some quick mental arithmetic and rationalised that two tent sites cost about the same as on cabin - so I drove on to Rocky.
It was a long drive – 716 kms – but uneventful and I got here by quarter to five. With no tent to put up it was straight into my motel type room and then a pleasant sit outside with a fortifying beverage. The publicity for the park claims that it sits on the Tropic of Capricorn so I enjoyed my last moment in the tropics for a while!
The other advantage of cutting a day out of the trip is that my next stop will not be over the weekend and I can get another cabin! They were all booked for the weekend.
