my travel stories & photos
Back in June, my Mum and Step Dad came to visit Joey and I in Weipa. We took them camping up to the tip. Mum wanted to tick the tip of Australia off her list and it didn’t take much convincing of Joey. We packed up our car and headed off on the familiar dirt […]
MoreA few weeks back it was the Weipa fishing competition. The Weipa fishing classic is held in early June, each year and 2018 was its 13th year.
