Our next destination is a stopover: Rockhampton, about 500 km south, the second-largest city in the state of Queensland. We still managed to get there from ten to six. The speed limit on highways is 110 km\/h, and often 100 km\/h. There are good roadside amenities, including rest areas with toilets and drinking water, even though they're quite far from civilization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A half-hour drive from Airlie Beach lies Proserpine, and below that, a large stretch of Australia's east coast is almost entirely uninhabited. There's little to see along the way. A village appears every half hour or so, and the first half is dominated by sugarcane fields. The last three hours are mainly arid land with scattered trees. The trees change from tropical palms to more common trees (as we know them), eucalyptus, and even conifers. From dense vegetation to savanna-like.<\/p>\n\n\n
