Okay Thank you for clearing that up

It's just off Arnold's road a little track on your left hand side will lead you down to stringy bark creek

@@CQExplorers Legend thanks mate I'll have to go check it out

It's amazing. Place up there

Same. I've been doing some research over the last year looking at doing exploring their Soon only problem is you have to walk it.

@@CQExplorers yer sweet, cheers mate. I tried to go up there once. But ended up at someone's house, so I thought must be all private property. But Iv heard about the gold rush days there. I,LL keep my eye on your clips. Cheers.

I know it's mount Archer state Forest

Thank you 😊 There's a few other waterfalls I'm trying to find there 😀

Haha This is probably how Purling Brook Falls started 😁🤣

I honestly liked it When the clouds were low felt different

It was such a beautiful walk

Thanks Great information I'll have to look for that book Australia's Ghost ports sounds interesting.

Thanks, Laurel ☺️

Thank you So much! Yes, I'm very brave. Walking across that bridge looks scary but it was okay. One step at a time 😁 Wow amazing Family history you have. Thanks for sharing your memories. Of Up there Got to get up there and do some more videoing still more history to show I know those suspension bridges are very interesting. And thanks for enjoying watching I'll make sure I get up there again. If there's any way you'd like me to show on my next video up there, let me know 🙂

@@CQExplorers No where special Mark the town is a very interesting place so looking forward to your next video,... 👍

Too easy Mick Lots of history around up there 😊

Haha, thanks! Nala can be little bit of a handful She loves walking a lot loves the outdoors 😄

Hey thanks First time Up that lookout there I have heard of the gun emplacements. I've been trying to do some more research on them I'm going to be doing history walk of keppel Sands, especially when the yanks were there for r&r And when they used to launch the PT boat also. The little bar 🍺 they had setup but yes any information on the gun emplacements were exactly? Hopefully I can get some help

I’m sorry, but there’s no way I can easily describe exactly where the emplacement ditches were aside from the fact they were ditches on the two headlands. No cement remaining. You could see down into the cutting from up there. The US made the cutting to bring their amphibious vehicles through. They also blew up the rocks that were in the mouth of the creek where my Uncle used to fish (locally known back then as Graham's Rocks), to provide easier access. If you can find a copy of the book "A history of Keppel Sands", which was locally produced, there is a photo in it that I took, of a man standing next to one of the ditches or in one (can't find the book at the moment). Other than that, you need to talk to the long term locals like the Limpus family. The cement slab at the base of the hill was where there were buildings for their amphibious vehicles.

That's great information, thank you. I put up a post on my Facebook page Central qld explorers See if I can get some more information about down there.

@@CQExplorers I expect most of the locals who were around during WWII are probably just about gone now. There is a local historical society, in fact, I think they are the ones who put out the book I mentioned.

You too. I'd like to do that section, but how much has been taken over by the property owners I've noticed? 😕

Yeah it can be done whenever The track is a shared track up to the mountain bike area Saturday morning probably would be a popular time for them

Thanks. It was a good video to make. Finally, I got around to it

Oh wow! Nice! No, I've never ventured out that way around that cave system scared I might get lost. I'll have to take someone with me

​@@CQExplorers i can show you a few. Would be good

@TradeTravelTroopy anytime I'm always up for an adventure

Didn't know if it was Fuller full or just an f load of water 😉

So much up there people don't know about. It's like a mystery area

Ah nice! I'll have to drive past and see if I can see it

@@CQExplorers 195, between the front house and the back yard/shed. Behind the tractor mechanics.

Thanks Brad. I'll have a look next time I go past

Hey thanks. I think they call it Tannum rusts at Gladstone Tannum Sands

If you're into your 4By stuff I have more on my other channel. youtube.com/@mr.walkaround.?si=6OzztuyE_M6WhA4X

@@CQExplorers thanks for that, I seen some vids on your other channel I want see too. Next time we up Tannum way, we'll have find that place and check it out

Oh nice! Thanks for sharing your memories Would have been a great area to grow up in

Haha let's do it 😁

@@CQExplorers defantly work somethink out

Oh amazing thank you for the information

Nice thank you for sharing your family history and your story on the dam

Yes, the poor old archer. Shane, it was never kept in better condition part of the Fitzroy history

So much history down there

No problem, thanks for watching That was one of my very first history video's plenty more on my channel

Thanks. More history videos to come I guess 😁

Part 2 will be soon 🙂

Hi there it a resource reserve own by Queensland government I think it's like the same as national Parks I'd be a bit scared doing it there but mind you it is tempting as I am a detectionist also but for relics I have seen a few people in there with PI machines one day. Didn't ask if they found any gold Just minded in my own business and kept on walking 😊

Hey, good idea I've been interested in doing a video on the old lines as some of them you can still see in some places

Love our rocky heritage we have so much Here

Hey thanks, Thought they might have been as I was seeing old glass China plate and the old brick and a few other things

No problem. Love making the videos of Mount Morgan, so much history! great town I'm finding everybody very interested in my videos of up there I get the most viewed.

Thank you very much! It's amazing how many people have a connection to someone that grew up in the mount great place for history

@@CQExplorers Very true. My great grandfather is buried in the Mount Morgan cemetery. Also two of his children who died in infancy (1900-1907) and are interred in the little children’s area near the entrance. None have markers.

Sad about the two children being there. In the near future I'm going to be doing a history walk around the cemetery. There also a few of my relatives and my wife's are very there!

@@CQExplorers that will be amazing! It is very sad about the children. I stood looking at that section once, and had tears running down my face. Such sadness. Yet it was so peaceful where they lay, under the dappled sunlight from the trees overhead. One day I must visit them again. Will be looking forward to this video. I have a rough idea where his grave is. From the entrance gate, about half way up the slope on the left I think. I couldn’t find it that time as I had limited time available. Sec 4 Row V Grave Tablet OO52. Also just remembered his first wife is there too. She was my great great grandmother. (Long story why he’s my great & she’s my great great) 😊 Hope you and your wife locate all your relatives.

Wow I I would like to definitely add them to my research if you don't mind If you could give me some more details, maybe names That's if you Would like me to but totally up to you
