This morning it was sadly time for goodbyes with Fiona and Luke, then we headed to the railway station for the Rockhampton Tilt Train which left at 11 am for Bundaberg.
For the next 4.5 hours we travelled the 350 km east in comfort - much more civilized than UK rail experiences. The weather has been wet today and we couldn't see much, but once outside Brisbane the line goes slightly inland and it's a very rural outlook.
On arrival at Bundaberg we got a shuttle bus to our accommodation and it's a cute cabin set in tropical gardens and there's even a Labrador called Storm. The exotic birds are singing away in the trees and it's a big contrast to the city.
They've had lots of rain here last couple of days which they're grateful for after the drought...but now it's a bit flooded!
They've made the interior of the cabin very tasteful and we feel much at home so rather than go back into Bundaberg we're getting pizza delivered.
