Boomerang Dave's Boomerang Journal

We head of to Brisbane on January 3rd. We got a fair start for our 1000km drive and keep stops to a minimum. Barb planned sandwiches for lunch and we figured on a supper stop close to Brisbane. As we have seen on previous drives, we are up and down through the mountains but the scenery is changing. The further north we traveled, the more tropical the foliage. We passed by banana, macadamia and coffee plantations. There were the usual kangaroo and koala crossing signs and we'll never forget the Big Prawn Tourist Center, with the huge prawn on the roof. We knew that we gained an extra hour to the day when we crossed into Queensland, so we figured we could make it to the Burwell's in one day. We needed a good break and got off the highway to have supper at Jimbo's Seafood. They had a take out area and we sat at a table out near the water to eat. We arrived at Bob's place at 8:30pm. We sit up a bit, and talk with Bob and Pam before hitting the sack for a well deserved night's rest.
