Maaroom

Driving from Tin Can Bay to Maaroom we intended to have an explore of the small villages/locations along the way. Tinnabar, Tawan, Poona, Boonooroo.

I wasn't surprised to find that Tawan was a location and not a village but was disappointed to find that Esplanade Road marked on Hema Maps did not exist. This photo is as close as we got to the beach.

Great Sandy Straits.

Well the great Sandy Straits are not just sand, there are quite significant areas of mud and mangroves.

The tide is in this morning.

Is this the ideal beach shack?

Dickabram Bridge

Driving the backroads from Maryborough we had lunch at the Dickabram Bridge across the Mary River. It is unusual in that it has a single rail track and single road on the one deck.

Kilkivan Free Camp

We had planned to stay at the Kilkivan Bush Camp just outside Kilkivan - fortunately I rang before we drove in to find the camp is closed all February. We stayed here at the Free Camp in Kilkivan behind the RSL and near the old rail station.

An old Queenslander style home in the main street of Kilkivan.

I am old enough to remember using outside Dunnies just like this one.

The old Kilkivan Railway Station. It is the start of the Kilkivan Kingaroy rail trail. I did ride a few k towards Goomeri and back to Kilkivan. This is a link to a short youtube video https://youtu.be/fYDpawOUoWE
