Pat Bear stopping for a breather near the Turich-Mann Bridge rest-stop on the Boyne River near Benaraby before continuing the drive to Mackay

Pat Bear's story: Pat Bear was a gift from a sweet old lady, Mrs Patricia B. - who made teddy bears etc. Mrs B grew up around the Mackay-Townsville area - she would be happy to know Pat Bear went up north for a visit :) Unfortunately Pat Bear cannot bring some sugarcane back to Brisbane for Mrs B due to quarantine restrictions... :(
