Drivin to Cairns

So after Sidney bridge we drove to Gosford about an hour out. It was getting late in the day and the light had gone. It was about 6pm. Tourist info was closed with no help we stopped in a motel the night as we could find a camp site. We had pizza and relaxed from the drive. We spent the next few days driving about 6 to 7 hours a day doing about 650-700km. We stopped off in campsites in Tenterfield, which was up in the hills/mountains and we awoke to -5 temperatures. There was frost on the grass outside and the windscreen was covered in ice. Then stopped in Childers and nice small place. Then Mackay we found a nice beach side camp site for only $20. We were out walking around the campsite that night and found 2 possums following us around. our last night was at a really small place called Cardwell about 2 hours from Cairns. This village had a shop, petrol station, a few more shops and about 30 houses all along one street. It was really close to the beach and the camp site owners had just bought it last week. We arrived in to Cairns for lunch time and found a hostel with a pool as its now 20 degrees with the sun shinning. The things well take from our journey are we drove the length of the east coast of Australia in under 7 days, covering over 4000km and visited the states of Victoria, New South Wales and Queensland. We saw the change of lush area to freezing mountains and then dry light brown fields. plus all the campers we meet along the way were really really friendly. Had a great time driving up.
