So from Yeppoon we headed west to do some Sapphire fossicking in Sapphire, which is about 50km from Emerald. There was a huge change to the landscape, from green and tropical to brown and bushland. We saw huge coal trains travelling to and from Blackwater, they were so long they had an engine at the front, 2 engines in the middle and sometimes one at the back!
We also had a mishap with the caravan.... with the front window cover breaking off and disappearing into the wilderness!!!!! lucky there was no one else on the road or it could have been a whole lot worse. We haven't bothered with getting a new one yet, we will look into it when we get to the next major city, which will be Darwin.
