Day 5 - Childers and Gladstone

Day 5 saw us driving from the Sunshine Coast to Gladstone. It was overcast most of the day with frequent rain.

We stopped for a morning coffee in Childers (opposite the site of the infamous Backpackers Hostel fire of 2000 when 15 people were killed).

After our arrival in Gladstone we stopped near Matthew Flinders bridge (a ‘bascule’ bridge) in Port Park and took some photos in the light drizzle.
