Arrived in rain, well outside of town - Taxi with ollie, Floris and a random. Checked into hostel via downstairs pub. 11.50, thought all in the dorm be asleep and that it be cramped and a bit crap at $20/night. Open room door quietly. Its a double bed with single on top!! Cool! Shotgunned (bagsied) bottom bunk asap. No linen provided, so used my SINGLE sleeping bag liner - basically sleepign in small single again...
Wandered around next morning. 1st place without anything to actually see. 'Mall'/Highstreet a series of discount shops. Everything shut at 3pm. People: Mulleted, cardigans, good at localism - got a couple of wierd looks and shouts to go home. Dang cowboys! Rockhampton famed for beef.
Spent afternoon sorting stuff/admin. Small cam tripod I bought snapped instantly. Went out for a steak with O + Floris. V nice - 600gm T bone! and a few beers, best thing in rocky. More local looks though. Found a big painted sign saying "Beautiful" nr centre. Bit ironic.
Up at 6.15 for bus to Airlie Beach...
