Bowen and Groper Creek, Queensland

Another trip down memory lane for Jack as we visited Bowen where he picked tomatoes during a working holiday back in 1986. Join us looking around Bowen in our YouTube video below:

Of course, we had to revisit the tomato patch beside the Don River:

Groper Creek

About an hour’s drive north of Bowen is Groper Creek Caravan Park. A very popular fishing camp located at the confluence of the Groper Creek and the Burdekin River. Despite almost relentless wind all week, we thoroughly enjoyed catching and eating some fish.
