Up this morning around 7:30, had 1.5 mm of rain overnight no drought breaker but it is about 10 degrees cooler than yesterday, still motoring north no dirt yet all black top. Stopped at 10:30 for a cuppa on the side of the road just before the lightning ridge turnoff, then onto Dirranbandi for lunch and a fuel stop at St George, pulled into the Fishermans camp on the Balone river in the late arvo. Stopped at this free camp last year and as per usual there is well over 30 vans camped here, we walked over the river and into town for a look around, checked out the Cobb and Co museum which was very interesting, picked up a couple of souvenirs. Weather is cooling down with the sun setting had a drink outside and then into the van with the diesel heater on for a few more drinks and dinner 🥃もっと詳しく

Day 4

2018年5月31日, オーストラリア

Into bed early last night, had a great night sleep not many trucks till early hours of the morning, on the road at 7am today we are on a mission to punch out some big kms, passed through Roma and stopped at a truck stop just north for breakfast, very fresh southerly breeze blowing only about 7 degrees. Kept on motoring and pulled up for a cuppa north of Injune and then lunch at Springsure, got into Emerald at 1:30 and stocked up on supplies and fuel and kept on trucking north. Capella, Clermont and Belyando Crossing next on the list, after about 780kms we decide to pull in to a stop on the side of the road with one other caravan for the night and you wouldn't believe it we have full strength phone service after none for the last hour.
Teresa is cooking up a tuna veggie bake, got triple m streaming on the iPad and having a bevie 👍もっと詳しく

Day 5

2018年6月1日, オーストラリア ⋅ ⛅ 26 °C

Another early start on the road at 6:30 this morning, still on good Roads as we head into Charters Towers for fuel and breakfast, about 2 hours up the road we got to Greenvale as we headed out of town the road was closed due to a road train back trailer breaking in half carrying a load of rock, held us up for about 30 minutes, chatted to some other caravaners while we waited. Some small sections of one lane bitumen but overall pretty good to the oasis roadhouse, pulled up for lunch on the side of the road and then after a little run north we turned on to the Savannah way and arrived at the bedrock village caravan park in Mount Surprise and we sure did surprise the Newton's as we pulled in next door to there site 😊 Just having a cuppa and catching up on everything, happy hour shortly 👍
Had a great night around the fire listening to the bush poet, very funny well worth it.もっと詳しく

Had a sleep in this morning, caught up on the washing, coffee at the van park cafe with the Newton's and then we walked in to town and by chance the Saturday market was on, Maz and Teresa picked up some home made preserves. Lots of people wandering around from buses and caravaners, not much has changed since we were here last, pub is still no good shuts at 5pm, a couple of cafe/fuel stops, 3 caravan parks in town but Joe and Jo's Bedrock Village that we are at is still the best. Drinks and dinner at the van tonight, very relaxing about 25 degrees at late afternoon 😎もっと詳しく

Day 7

2018年6月3日, オーストラリア ⋅ ⛅ 26 °C

Started the day off to a bacon and egg breakfast and then we all wandered down via a rocky track to Elizabeth Creek for a look, a very sandy creek with a good flow of water and some rocky rapid sections, another great day in the Savannah gulf country. Everyone was keen for a round of mini golf which is free at the van park, we played 9 holes and did not keep track of the score but Dennis took the win with the only hole in one. Spent the avo just chillin out catching up on the blog and doing the maintenance checks on the car and van before we head off tomorrow. Booked in for wood fired pizza for tea tonight, should be good with a few quite drinks👍もっと詳しく

Day 8

2018年6月4日, オーストラリア ⋅ ⛅ 25 °C

Had a great night at the camp kitchen with the home cooked style wood fired pizzas last night, time to move on today heading further north dropped in at Innott Springs for a quick look, hot water flowing in to the river nice and hot but not the best spot to camp so we decided to keep going to Ravenshoe and pulled into the railway caravan park which is on the old railway grounds surrounded by the old buildings and train carriages. Setup and walked down the street for a look and lunch, most facilities here for shopping, back in the car for a drive to Millstream falls which is the widest waterfall in Queensland, well worth a look. Back into town then out to Tully gorge lookout, very impressive but no water flowing at the moment, off to the top pub for dinner and drinks tonight.もっと詳しく

Day 10

2018年6月6日, オーストラリア ⋅ ⛅ 13 °C

Up early this morning nearly another frost here at Ravenshoe, time to move on from this cool place another long day 😂 about 80kms to our next destination the Tinaroo Dam holiday park. Along the way we stopped at the Mount Hypipamee crater for a look and the Dinner falls as well which was about a 2 km round trip walk, very interesting. Arrived at Tinaroo Dam about 11 stopped for some lunch and then went on a another tour around, first stop was the Gallo dairy, chocolate and cheese factory, had a look at the dairy and poddies have not really missed the smell of the dairy. Next on our avo tour was Malanda Falls, had a great swimming spot but a little cool today, into the township of Malanda and the girls did a spot of shopping at the local clothes shop, they picked up some goodies and then we had coffee and cake at the local bakery which was very good. The Curtain Fig Tree was next and an amazing natural wonder, north to Yungaburra to pick up some supplies for dinner and back to the van park for drinks around the Oz pig tonight 🥃👍もっと詳しく
