Road Trip, Day 10: Eungella to Bowen


Having left Eungella just after 7 am, so I could dawdle along the road*, I arrived in Bowen late morning. I'd initially decided that I'd detour to Cape Hillsborough and Dingo Beach but ended up driving through to my destination. I killed some time at the Flagstaff Hill café, which has mango and macadamia cheesecake and stunning views of the islands of Port Denison.

Today's new birds: yellow honeyeater and pied oystercatcher.


Foreground: North Head Island (with light) and Stone Island.

* I tried driving down in 3rd gear but my car insisted that I should do it in 2nd. I changed up, it changed down. Had it a voice, no doubt it would have gently admonished me: "I can't let you do that, Snail".
