    • Day 70

      Nonda Camp Billabong

      October 6, 2019 in Australia โ‹… โ›… 32 ยฐC

      Another nice spot out of the blue! We had planned to stop at Julia Creek but since we had a very early start decided to head on a bit further.

      This is a stock route watering point still in use to this day. Often there are huge mobs of cattle here for a night or two. The billabong is topped up by a flowing artesian bore. Water exits at about 45 degrees and flows into the BILLABONG where cools down ready for the cattle when needed.

      Nearby was a thriving little township in days gone by. Mostly railway workers and their families. Now all the houses are gone leaving only the old school building that is privately owned

      Someone has dropped 4 domestic ducks here. They are hanging around hoping for a handout. Probably they do better with other travellers than us.

      Richmond, Hughenden and Charters Towers

      May 14, 2021 in Australia โ‹… โ˜€๏ธ 27 ยฐC

      A one night stop in Richmond to see the dinosaurs. After lunch we went to Kronosaurus Korner. A very interesting place to go. Loved that we could go at our own pace. We stayed at Lakeview Caravan Park. Where we were told that red claw were in the water. We got a couple of pots and gave it a go. Red claw have nothing to fear from us. On to Hughenden. We really need to keep track of the days travelling into remote towns on the weekend means nothing is open. We went for a drive to Prairie and spent time in the old pub. Visited the bakery on our way out of town and had one of the best pasties. (We left on Monday). One night at Charters Towers (we will be coming back) the city has great architecture. The caravan park was beautiful and green. We went out to Burdekin Weir. A truly beautiful place.Read more

      Richmond-Marine Fossil Museum

      May 30, 2021 in Australia โ‹… โ˜€๏ธ 24 ยฐC

      The fossil museum in Richmond , known as Kronosaurus Korner, is Australia's premier marine fossil museum. It features more than 1000 registered fossils from Richmond and Outback Queensland. The fossils provide a fascinating insight into the creatures that survived in the ancient Eromanga Sea which covered Richmond over 100 million years ago.Read more

      Richmond

      May 10, 2022 in Australia โ‹… ๐ŸŒง 20 ยฐC

      After a long days drive, we arrived at our caravan park at Richmond to ride out the forecast flooding rain event. We decided to stay at the caravan park as opposed to the free camp, as it has bitumen and concrete sites, power/water and amenities whilst we are hunkered down. The park is adjacent to a man made lake with walking paths, gardens, lights and BBQ areas everywhere...a great place to ride out the weather.

      Kronosaurus Korner was great...a lot better than Hughenden, and contained heaps of full skeletons and fossils of mainly sea based dinosaurs. This region was once covered by a huge inland sea, and there seems to be heaps of fossils being uncovered quite regularly.

      The rain event has started and we're waiting it out and hoping we don't get flooded in as the roads are quite susceptible to flooding.

      We are booked in to a farmstay at Winton on Friday, and have paid for 2 dinosaur tours on Saturday and Sunday, so are hoping we are able to get through...

      Richmond is halfway between Townsville and Mt Isa and is home to Australia's premier marine fossil museum. We have found great coffee (roasted in Townsville) and about to embark on our museum self guided audio tour.Read more

      Halbzeit

      December 17, 2018 in Australia โ‹… โ›… 32 ยฐC

      Gut, vielleicht nicht Halbzeit von unserer gesamten Zeit aber zumindest haben wir jetzt die Hälfte der Australien Reise hinter uns. Grund genug, ein erstes Fazit zu ziehen:

      Tom: Lebt noch, hat wieder ziemlich lange Haare und ‘nen neuen Patenonkel. Zumindest so halb. Abgesehen davon hat Tom der Verlockung des Glücksspiels in Australien nicht standhalten können und ein Van-internes Tippspiel angezettelt.

      Linus: Kann von sich selbst behaupten, dem Pokémon Go Hype erst in Australien und zwei Jahre zu spät erliegen zu sein. Ansonsten hat er wahrscheinlich mehr Worte mit Einheimischen gewechselt als Tom und Leo zusammen. Sehr talkative, der Junge!

      Leo: Hat kürzlich damit geglänzt, auf der rechten Fahrbahn zu fahren und nicht einmal dann zu merken, dass er auf der linken fahren sollte, als ein anderes Auto entgegenkam. Aber keine Sorge: wir leben noch. Außerdem ist er unangefochtener Preis-schätz Meister und hat sich damit einen extra Tim-Tam Verdient. Bravo, Leo!

      Molly: Brummt und summt und fährt vor allem wie am ersten Tag.

      Australien: Ist wirklich wild. Zumindest der Teil, den wir bisher bereist haben, ist alles andere als ein Beispiel in Sachen Urbanität. Aber das wird sich vermutlich in den nächsten Wochen ändern, wenn wir die Ostküste bereisen. Grundsätzlich gefällt Australien uns aber sehr und wir freuen uns auf die Zeit, die wir noch hier haben.

      August 12, 2019 in Australia โ‹… โ˜€๏ธ 21 ยฐC

      On the way to Richmond met a large mob of cattle being driven down the Long Paddock. We met them at a railway crossing together with a train. Train stopped to let cattle cross. Booked into Caravan Park and went to information centre, After Lunch walked down to memorial park next to the caravan park and took photos of Uncle Harry's bust in the Park. Went to the Dinosaur Exhibit and then went back to caravan for dinner.Read more

      Drove down the Winton Road from Richmond as far as Glenlyon. Bitumen nearly all the way. When I worked at Clareborough in 1976, there was no bitumen. Road was good apart were it had washed due to floods.Read more
