Heading to Gem Tree

Day 14

This morning is a little cool down around 1-2 degrees. So a very slow start getting out of bed and the heater struggling this morning. We are camped near Jervious Station and from here we will travel to Gem Tree caravan park. This is about 200K’s on the Plenty Hwy. so should be a lot quicker and better than what we have been on.
Well the trip to Gem Tree caravan park was quite and easy. There was about 100K’s of bitumen a ok it looks like they are trying the bitumen the Plenty Hwy all the way through. If they do this will be a well used road through to Alice. Had smoko along the road and arrived at Gem Tree around 1:00pm. Booked in and did the dinner and garnet tour for tomorrow. Looks like we have to be out of bed early. When we tried to book Bill in on-line it told us there were no sites available, got here and there were plenty. So Bill was all booked in as well. When we got to Gem Tree we found I had two shockies on the camper snapped in half. They blew out on the corrugation and dropped all their oil. Then on the dirt roads today they just snapped them. Anyway had a couple of spares so I threw those on and we will see if we can get a couple of new ones in Alice. Had a great shower and now sitting and having a couple of drinks. Rell it trying to catch up on emails etc. starting to get cool now so we may have to start fire 🔥Read more
