Tin Can Bay

Down the A1 from Rockhampton you would expect to get a good run but oh so slow, there was a sign saying "Next 84km roadwork", then you would get through that "Next 50km roadwork".  We talked to a lady tonight and she had heard that there were 22 different road work between Tin Can Bay and MacKay.  Thought we were done with sugar cane too but around Gin Gin they call themselves the sugar bowl, and some sugar cane is even irrigated in this area.


The Australian Military seemed to be on the move today, dozens of armed troop carriers, transporters with containers and other vehicles all heading north today.


Didn't go into Bundaberg but we have been there before and got a photo of the Bundaberg Rum Factory.   It is the only rum you can get here, they don't have coruba.


Turned toward the coast at Maryborough, was heading for  Rainbow Beach but it had started pouring with rain so have stopped at Tin Can Bay for the night.  Tin Can Bays main industry is fishing, boasting a fishing fleet of 50 prawn and scallop trawlers.
