Farewell Hughenden

We left Hughenden this morning. Its funny how we ended up staying in this town twice. It is a quiet, welcoming, has decent supplies, very good inexpensive(25 unpowered) council run caravan park we used for this past two nights, a great icecream shop and very tidy even with the winter brown tinge.

The over 200k road between Hughenden and Winton currently holds our award for worst road so far. It is a roller coaster, with massive soft edges, some very big pot holes, and a lot of surprises.

We have included a video.

We are now at a free camp 2ks from township of Winton. It's called the Long Waterhole. This place is HUGE. You have to be self sufficient. We will be staying in Winton for the next 6 nights. Longest of grid stay. And we are avoiding Winton water so our water supply had to really last.

These are photos of our set up here. The sky is so HUGE and its a full moon tonight and still plenty of stars.

There is a photo looking west into the sunset and another when you looked back in the opposite direction and the moon was rising. Like I said.....BIG SKY.

There is a photo of Mick walking into a camp area before driving in. Recently in Mareeba we pulled into a carpark for a picnic lunch and there was no turning around and we had the van on. Cars were parked in there. How Mick got out of that car park is impressive. He will tell you that every cent we spent on his caravan reversing and towing course was worth it.Read more
