THE Q TRAIN
Queenscliff is a classic seaside holiday destination and is where we spend most of the morning at leisure. Surrounded on three sides by water Queenscliff was once a defence post around 1880 and was the most heavily armed fort in the Southern Hemisphere. Today the real charm can be felt with the historical buildings featuring the magnificent Vue Grand Hotel dominating the commercial centre. We could pop into one of the very well presented museums or simply take a wander, admiring its charm and maybe getting a cuppa from one of the many local cafes. Late morning we board The Q-Train for our special 6 course Christmas in July luncheon, a real treat today. As the train whistle sounds our journey begins travelling along the beautiful Bellarine Railway, offering views of the rolling hills of the Bellarine Peninsula. Between the set courses of our degustation menu we are free to walk around the train, or to enjoy a relaxing drink in the Club Loco Bar Car. Feel free to explore the train and soak up the rich history as we twist around the tracks. The Q Train will pause for a period of time at Suma Park Historic Homestead, then runs alongside beautiful Swan Bay, with another stop to enjoy views while we dine and then continue back to Queenscliff. Your final dessert course is served on our return trip from Queenscliff to Drysdale, and as The Q Train closes its return journey, enjoy a final cup of tea or coffee. Our coach will be waiting for us and we return to our hotel to complete a memorable day.

CATTLE SALE YARDS, TROPIC OF CAPRICORN
After breakfast slap on that Akubra! It’s time to take in the dust and drama of the largest sale yards in the Southern Hemisphere. Central Queensland Livestock Exchange formerly known as the “Gracemere Sale yards” commenced operations in January 1953. Located at Gracemere, just 8 km from Rockhampton the cattle sales are a weekly highlight for both locals and visitors. Watch fair dinkum farmers and cattle graziers bidding big bucks as they stock up at the live auctions. After lunch, we head to the Visitors Centre, to see the Spire Tropic of Capricorn, before heading to the Rockhampton Botanical Gardens and Zoo to experience beautiful tropical Queensland foliage and zoo exhibits at this spacious garden and sanctuary near the city’s tranquil Murray Lagoon. Enjoy tranquility amid the palm trees, spectacular Banyan fig trees, as well as the Japanese Garden and an arboretum for tropical fruit trees. Be transported to the Queensland desert in the Arid Garden and walk along a boulevard of fragrant tamarind trees. Then to top all this off, the zoo is part of the Gardens. Watch cassowaries, sleepy koalas, wombats, collection of reptiles and mischievous dingoes. Don your Akubra again, as we enjoy a meal at Rockhampton’s iconic Great Western Hotel established in 1862. We not only enjoy the country food but also watch cowboys and cowgirls buck their way around the indoor rodeo arena while we sink our teeth into the Great Western’s steak.

CROCODILE FARM, EMU PARK AND YEPPOON
After breakfast we head to the Koorana Crocodile Farm. Owned and operated by the charismatic croc crusader John Lever, this working crocodile farm will place us just metres from some salty giants! Be entertained and informed by John and his passionate staff as they escort us around the pens on a fully guided tour. Have your photo taken whilst holding a baby croc, learn why crocs sit there with their mouths wide open (amongst many other fun facts) and, at the end of it all, try a croc kebab! After the farm we head to Emu Park, and stop at the famous Singing Ship – it’s easy to spot, atop the headland with time if you like to make our way to the Centenary of Anzac Memorial Walk. The 175-metre boardwalk ends with a viewing deck below the Singing Ship. From here we can enter the outside Memorial Gallery, which displays artwork telling the WWI story. We also stop off in Yeppoon for a look on our way back to the Motel.

RAIL MUSUEM, ART GALLERY AND CAPRICORN CAVES
First stop today is a visit to the Archer Park Rail Museum, where we’ll be treated to fascinating exhibits of rolling stock, and a ride of the Purrey Steam Tram which puffs along a short track. Later today we visit the Rockhampton Art Gallery which houses the finest collection of mid-twentieth century Australian art in regional Queensland.
You’d be a “mad cow” to miss works from Albert Tucker, Fred Williams, Arthur Boyd, Russell Drysdale, Sidney Nolan, Margaret Olley and Lloyd Rees (to name but a few!). This afternoon we visit the Capricorn Caves. The Cathedral Tour has something for everyone. Hauntingly beautiful music showcases the Cathedral Chamber’s amazing natural acoustics, and the accompanying light show transports you away to a totally different world. Walk through the Zig Zag passage and suspension bridge, finishing with a sense of adventure. This cave has easy walking with some stairs, and is well lit and wheelchair accessible. After a great day, we head back to Korte’s Resort for a rest before dinner.

MOUNT MORGAN
Today we head out to a “real gem” - The Mount Hay Gemstone Park. This is an internationally known thunderegg fossicking hotspot. Also known as ‘volcanic birthstones,’ thundereggs might not look magic on the outside, but once cut, these stones display stunning star formations – the pretty patterns a result of gas bubbles in molten lava, which have solidified on cooling. They’re all lying at the base of the once active Mount Hay and the best part is that it’s finders keepers! After lining our pockets with precious gems, we head to the historical township of Mount Morgan. Take a fascinating journey into Australia’s amazing gold mining history and delve into its prehistoric past. Visit Mount Morgan’s Historical Museum and the Railway Museum. Once one of the world’s richest gold mines and the busiest town in Queensland at its peak in the early 1900s, we can witness the town’s wealthy past, historic buildings and sites. After a great day, we return to our accommodation to rest or pack for our flight home tomorrow.
