Fairleigh – Marlborough

Appologies for the long gap in the updates... Got to Noosa and had every intention of updating but never got round to it... Will try and keep the updates brief for the missing month!

Had an interesting trip round Mackay. It hadn’t changed much since our last visit. Only the rest of the apartment buildings were finished in their new marina, and all the shops and restaurants are now open. I have to say in the 5 years since we were last hear, the first of the buildings are starting to look tired and the whole area is looking tired and the cheaply built apartments are now looking like they’re hard to sell now as they are looking more and more like rental properties. Shame.

The scenery is looking less tropical and more and more like bush. Passed several coal mines along the way. You can see Queensland’s addiction to the stuff.

Stopped in a small little spot trying very hard to get tourists to stop called Marlborough. We found a nice little spot to stop and spend the night. A nice tidy little town.
