Today, we moved from Bundaberg and travelled over 60 miles to Pancake Creek. It was an uneventful, yet comfortable day sail with this recently restored lighthouse reflecting our largest “high-light” for the day. We anchored late in the afternoon and as we sat to relax with an ale taking in our views, the sun went…

Here we are anchored 4 miles into the Burnett River. The township of Bundabeg is a further hour (7 miles) and requires an appropriate tide height to navigate. It’s been a long day sail from Hervey Bay so we opted to anchor short of the township.

From Fraser Island we planned to head directly for Bundaberg.

We found a safe anchorage and next day motored upstream towards Harwood Bridge. Got some great photos of the sun setting and rising.The following day, having the…

A birds eye view. Replacing the cups on the wind speed/direction indicator at the top of the main mast. Unfortunately this instrument decided not to work a few weeks later. Probably was somewhwere in the cabling between the mast head and the rear cockpit.
