To Cardwell



Werner drinking and riding, just as well its only water



Have not seen this sign for a while and there was a 8 and 12 % on the other side Werner had to come up.



I parked the van at Cardwell, beside this beach nice spot



While I was waiting I had a visit from a rooster,there was about 6 of them around the place.



This sign was also there, my first crocodile warning.



Time to enjoy a coffee with Werner at a coffee shop in Cardwell.



I wanted to sit at a table and normal chairs,but Werner chose more comfortable ones after hours on the bike seat I don't blame him.



At Cardwell CG Werner working on his Journal



At the CG there was a swimming,but Werner only went this far in as it was very cold.

Mt Dryander with it's cloud hat covering the top.This was my first view this morning when leaving Proserpine



Werner is reaching half way towards Bowen



Bowen at 9.30 am when I got here



One more street to go and Werner is in the CG



Werner relaxed and catching up on the Journal, it's not even lunch time yet




I'm looking for Stingers but couldn't find any



Stinger net further up from our CG



In the afternoon we went to the beach. I think he has to do something about his tan line



Relaxing in the early evening at the CG



Had to laugh when I read this
