Clairview, Tropical Queensland Coast
The quaint little township of Clairview is located right on the Queensland coastline, about 120km south of Mackay. The park on the northern edge of town, with beach frontage, is a fantastic spot to stop for lunch and recharge before tackling the Bruce Highway again. The waters around Clairview provide a protected sanctuary for Dugongs, an endangered herbivorous sea mammal. Fun Fact: Clairview boasts the only ocean view from the Bruce Highway, between Bowen to…

He is a veteran of Queensland travel – from the east coast to the far west channel country, from south to north and everywhere in between – we reckon he has visited more locations in Queensland than lots of people have! He has also made appearances in New South Wales and South Australia. Since adopting this little guy when he was…

The Dingo Fence, or Wild Dog Barrier Fence as it is correctly called, starts in the north-east of Australia, between Jandowae and Jimbour in the Western Downs region of Queensland. It then makes it way through Queensland, western New South Wales and into South Australia, ending to the west of Eyre Peninsula. The fence was constructed to help prevent livestock loss from these predators. We really enjoyed driving approximately half of the 110km Dingo Fence…

Roamin’ Around Jandowae, Qld
Jandowae, Queensland – so much to do and see in around this beautiful little town. Jandowae has a population of around 740 and is located in the Western Downs Region, Queensland, Australia. The town of Jandowae is situated on the traditional lands of the Barunggam People.
