On our way north and west we passed lush, rolling fields of sugar cane. And where there is cane in Queensland, there are sugar cane trains!
There are also larger trains.
This train shares a bridge with the highway.
There was actually water in the river. I’m told that this is a rarity.
Adventures in Bogan moving!
Turning west into the interior, we left the sugar cane fields behind and returned to the bush.
This is one truck that should not be passed lightly.
From Rockhampton the expedition followed the Bruce Highway along the coast of central Queensland toward the Whitsunday Islands. Unlike the bush tracks masquerading as highways that we had followed previously, this highway actually had some traffic.
We passed many kilometres of sugarcane fields on the trek northward.

The sugarcane industry in Queensland is robust and polluting.
