Day 79: Rockhampton

Rockhampton is the beef capital of Australia as well as being smack bang in the middle of the Tropic of Capricorn.

With over 3 million cattle in the region, you would think you would be able to get a decent steak at 4PM in the afternoon, especially as bulls are everywhere you look, welcoming you into the town, offering valu-bull re-moo-ver-bulls and unbelieva-bull deals on your exporta-bulls. As it was, only one restaurant was open and a fillet mignon was not on the menu. We opted for the enchiladas, they were rather tasty.

We have done a fair bit of cycling today and the caravan park we are in is very nice which makes all the difference to our stay.

The sun is shining and all is well...
