End of year trip 2017, Day 1

I was up early and breakfasted at mum and dad's place, before heading north at around 6:45 am. It was a pretty easy drive with not much traffic and very few trucks. Stopped off for an early lunch at Miriamvale a bit after 11 am and continued on into Rockhampton where I refuelled.
Shane was still a while away so I continued onto Yeppoon where I was able to check the bookings for the national park. The only available space for two nights was at Red Rock camp site, so after checking with Shane I booked a spot (trailer or tent) over the internet and then headed out to the camp site. Yeppoon is a nice little town but it was very busy with holiday makers. 

I followed the signs out to Byfield and found the camp site pretty easy. On the way in, there was a beware of crocodiles sign on one of the creeks, so I'm not sure about swimming.
The camp site is nice and big with a table and fire pit also shady and well grassed. You can get to this site with a 2wd no problems. I've got a nice spot down the back and Shane can pick where ever he wants. 

After getting set up I relaxed for awhile and cooled off. Shane arrived just after 4:30 pm with all four wheels still attached.
We sat around and chatted for awhile, had some dinner and a drink but ended up going to bed early as the mossies were vicious.
