• Mount Morgan Silver Wattle Caravan Park

    Jul 8–22, 2024 in Australia ⋅ ☀️ 22 °C

    Weather freezing at night , frost on the windows early morning but the weather in the day time was the complete opposite to the point of hot! I can’t imagine what summer is like here?
    Was initially only supposed to stay for a couple of nights but on the morning of the 9th we set out to get supplies from Rockhampton and the gear stick was totally jammed! Fast forward to Fri 19th , one new gear box that took a world trip round the North East /West of Australia and 9 nights of accommodation in what only can be described as an up market prison cell but on the positive side we had a camp kitchen where we could prep Billy’s food , a double bed , hot shower which was a blessing due to the temperature drop and bone chilling drafts from the window . Even the fresh fungus people delivered out here! We witnessed such acts of kindness from fellow travellers offering trips to the local bottle o and iga to keep us sane, we even saw TV for the first time in 4 years! The actual caravan site was really quirky ,with recycled rusty machinery and tools placed in random place, we even left our nacked jack behind in the garden bed as memory of our “extended” stay here.
    We finally got our home back 13 days after witnessing it being towed off the site, we picked up some supplies , a new jack! food , beer etc and got ready to head off to Sapphire bright and early , only after witnessing a bloke emptying his caravan toilet modelling his red Chernobyl gloves with the sunrise in the distance.
