As much as Sander wanted a hot shower this morning, he had
to settle for a cold shower instead.
After packing up we drove to Sarina.
Now that we had been driving through
Sugarcane Fields for hundreds of kilometres we decided it was time to learn a
bit more about this thriving crop. So we took a guided tour at the Sugar Shed
Museum in Sarina.
It was actually a really nice, little tour. At the end we
had the possibility to taste the actual sugar cane and some of the products
made from it. The chilli/lime sauce, the coffee liquor and the fairy floss
being our favourites.
From Sarina we just did a lot of driving. We
stopped at a rest area just next to the Bruce Highway to spend the night. The
place itself wasn’t much more then a truckstop next to a roadhouse but it was
just packed with caravans, campers and
vans staying for the night. We managed to find a spot and had a decent sleep that
night.
On a funny note; Sander and I had camped here a few years
ago. It was during the Queensland flooding of 2010 when we headed north and had
just escaped Rockhampton before it flooded the next day. Back then we had the
whole parking lot to ourselves!
