Today's Journey
 |
Flying out of Brisbane over the Pine Rivers heading northwards along the coast some 600 kilometres to Rockhampton. |
 |
A lookout at the summit of Mount Archer looking over the city. |
 |
An emu at the Rockhampton Zoo. |
 |
Standing on the Tropic of Capricorn directly under the sun in the summer solstice at solar midday. The sun is 90 degrees vertically overhead. |
 |
From the tropic line I head north through the city and beyond into hilly farmland to explore Cathedral Cave. |
 |
Reaching the main cavern of the cave which has been set up as a small theatre with very nice acoustics. |
 |
Continuing through the narrow caverns of the cave back up towards the surface. |
 |
From the caves I return to the city and head inland to the mining town of Mount Morgan, where some excavation equipment is on display. |
 |
The Mount Morgan cemetery, my final stop before returning to Rockhampton to fly back to Brisbane. |
 |
Flying over the hills heading back towards Brisbane in the late afternoon. |
