The country is drier, with sandstone outcrops and more cattle in Sandstone Wonders. Camp at Kroombit Tops National Park and wake to incredible views from the sandstone cliffs. Listen out for musical notes chimed out by Mount Scoria’s six sided basalt peaks or go fishing for Barramundi, Golden Perch or Red Claw at Lake Callide, just 12 kilometres east of Biloela en route to Gladstone. Other natural wonders not to be missed in the Sandstone Wdoners include Isla Gorge and Expedition National Park. While in Biloela visit the Queensland Heritage Park to enjoy the heritage displays which celebrate the our nation’s glorious past. Once you have headed out of the Sandstone Wonders to the highway’s end in Rockhampton, you pass by the once great mining town of Mount Morgan. The gold mine operated from 1882 for 99 years and has left its mark on the area. Spend some time in town and visit the many historical reminders of that era. Rockhampton is well known as the Beef Capital of Australia and now the resources industry and education are making their mark. Look out for the bull statues situated throughout the city celebrating the breeds grown in the area.
