We breakfasted closer to the beach, in tropical style - and were a bit sorry we couldn't stay longer at Armstrong Beach.
It was our last week of holidays though - and we had a firm deadline for Nick's return to work. We plannned to stay longer at Hervey Bay (four hours from home), as the finale of our trip.
It was 7.5 hours to Hervey Bay from Armstrong Beach and neither of us wanted to spend all day driving. We chose a free camp at Calliope River to break the drive.
Located just off the Bruce Highway 26 kms west of Gladstone and 100 kms south of Rockhampton, Calliope River Rest Area is a free camping area in the Gladstone Region of Queensland.
It is a low maintenance facility on the banks of the Calliope River.
It was a popular place, with lots of campers on either side of the river.
We chose a spot a bit further away from the water - just in case any crocodiles liked the look of us (or Mr Dog)!
There were people fishing in the river, not bothered by the crocodile warnings.
