Lake Bindegolly from the Air
14. September 2021 in Australien ⋅ ☀️ 8 °C
It is not the place we expected. The trees are small and well adapted to the harsh conditions. The lake for much of it area is seasonal, however a large part has water for 9 of 10 years. Tough grassesWeiterlesen
Eulo Flood Truck and Air Raid Shelter
14. September 2021 in Australien ⋅ ☀️ 21 °C
It is interesting the innovation in our great country. The creek crossings are too deep for the cars and trucks. Let's put a lift kit in the old truck.
Now an air Raid shelter in way out in theWeiterlesen
Eulo
14. September 2021 in Australien ⋅ ☀️ 21 °C
DIPROTODON
You would not want to hit one of these guys on the highway. The largest marsupial to roam the planet, they were herbivores and had a rearward facing pouch. Like a very large wombat!
Paddabilla Bore
15. September 2021 in Australien ⋅ ☀️ 15 °C
On our trip from Eulo to Cunnamulla, we decided to stop for the night at Paddabilla bore. This bore was drilled here to water travelling stock. It is still used to water stock and now by theWeiterlesen
Cunnamulla River Walk
15. September 2021 in Australien ⋅ ☀️ 21 °C
This is a nice easy walk with the reward of a nice view of the river. There are info signs along the way. Sadly the QR codes take you to a Web page that has been suspended. Oooops! Somebody gotWeiterlesen
Dan Dolmans Hut - Modern Archaelogy
16. September 2021 in Australien ⋅ ☀️ 12 °C
Dan Dolman was a Wyandra resident who built fences, cut timber and no doubt did many other jobs. His hut ha long collapsed and mostly vanished but there is still a lot of evidence of hisWeiterlesen
The Beach
16. September 2021 in Australien ⋅ ☀️ 16 °C
What? A day at the beach 1,000k from the ocean. Yep there is a beach right here on the river, beautiful fine sand with nice open sunshine and safe swimming for the kids.
Wyandra
16. September 2021 in Australien ⋅ ☀️ 19 °C
We found this quirky little shop two years ago. We decided to have coffee and scones, something we don't often do these days and it was every bit as good as last time.
Inside the shop is a huge arrayWeiterlesen
Rock Pool - Charleville.
16. September 2021 in Australien ⋅ ☀️ 27 °C
Just 11 kilometers East of Charleville is a basic bush camp where travellers can rest up for a couple of nights. The main feature is a deep rock pool with water. The grounds are pebble with lots ofWeiterlesen
Muckadilla

Here we are at Muckadilla. The pub was just rebuilt and is super busy. The community offers camping behind the hall for a donation. Good showers and toilets make this a good stop.
Here's some extraWeiterlesen
Roma Bush Gardens
19. September 2021 in Australien ⋅ ☀️ 18 °C
This was an amazing spot early in the morning. The first thing is the bird chatter and song. Then a one kilometre walk around, andthere are birds everywhere. From the majestic pelican to the tiniestWeiterlesen
Jandowae Golf Club.

Barambah Caravan Park
22. September 2021 in Australien ⋅ ☀️ 20 °C
We are always a little apprehensive when we book a caravan park. This place was a pleasent surprise. Nicely laid out on the side of a hill, birds all around and lots of woodland walks behind the park.Weiterlesen
Ban Ban Springs
23. September 2021 in Australien ⋅ ☀️ 23 °C
Really sad. The near permanent springs of hundreds of years are dry. This is what happens when bores are drilled and pump the aquifer down low. All to irrigate a paddock.
The GAS Festival
24. September 2021 in Australien ⋅ ☀️ 26 °C
Well friends, I could not tell anyone where we were until it's over. You would have been too jealous! We turned off the phone, set up out camp amongst the tall iron bark trees and settled in for aWeiterlesen
Boondal Wetlands
4. Oktober 2021 in Australien ⋅ ☀️ 32 °C
Today a short 2.5k walk at the Boondal wetlands. There is no significant fresh water so not many birds apart from the mynas. Out in the channel today from the bird hide a lonely Ibis and a lonelierWeiterlesen
Lake Eden
6. Oktober 2021 in Australien ⋅ ☀️ 19 °C
Over this way there are lots of lakes with reasonable amount of water that I suspect is kept topped up. This ensures a good population of wildlife for the enjoyment of visitors.
This morning thereWeiterlesen
Coombabah

We are on the Gold Coast with some time before our family members arrive. A few kilometers from where we will stay is a nature reserve. Quite a few good walks and birdwatching opportunities.

Surfers Paradise
16. Oktober 2021 in Australien ⋅ 🌙 17 °C
We were invited to spend a weekend in a top notch Gold Coast hotel. After about 190 days(*) on the road, this would be as far from our camping lifestyle as we could get.
Huge rain showers withWeiterlesen
