Yeppoon to Monto

We left with Kim & Colleen this morning for parts unknown. Our first stop after climbing the range was the beautiful town of Mt Morgan. Lots of historical buildings & wonderful atmosphere. We had a drink at the Leichhardt Hotel while contemplating the bushfire ahead of us. Deciding to keep going, we headed off. No sign of smoke or fire. We arrived at the very little town of Dululu. We had a picnic lunch at the abandoned tennis courts. Lots of grain farming & harvesting. Many crops irrigated. Continued to Biloela for a drink at the Biloela Hotel. The town is a mix of mining & farming. Our final stop for the day was at Monto. Kim & Colleen parked up at the 'free camp' ($5). We booked into the Albert Hotel (once run by Ben Hall's sister Kate). We had a drink & decided to go for a walk around town. Got as far as the RSL & had a wonderful half hour with them all. Back to the Albert Hotel for tea.Read more
