Last two nights

We stayed at Betoota two nights in a Billabong which ran off Browns Creek. It was a perfect end to our three weeks of travel. We had a full day of rest, the boys did a spot of fishing, which was not successful and us girls caught up on necessary hand washing. We had a beautiful camp oven tea followed by Yogis famous syrup dumplings (only no golden syrup so improvised and used maple syrup). Plus Dianne made Date scones in her Thermocooker - yum! very spoilt... When we left our ute wouldn't go over 75-80kms an hour. So we crawled to Deons Lookout and some stockmen and Karl and Tony popped the bonnet. I think they worked out that whenwe ran out of fuel a few days back, it must of sucked some crap up into filter. Between the 4 men, they drained a bit of fuel and we were good as gold again. Deons Lookout is amazing. We were so lucky to be there after rains d the view so green. Wikicamps helped us find a spot on the Ward River 30kms west of Charleville. We set up for the last time, ...

Lawn hill adels grove

Today we woke up, had a slow morning and went for a drive to Lawn Hill. We are doing a boat ride down the gorge tomorrow morning. The boys went for a walk to the gorge, but as I had done it a few years back, I waited back at the water.  We came back to camp at lunch time and the boys went for a swim after lunch and Sue-Ellen and I went for a nanna.  We woke up about 3 and then we went for a swim in extremely invigorating water. Was cold but worth it.  I had cooked a beef stew in the thermos cooker so tea didn't have to be cooked. We ate that and the boys and Sue-Ellen are going up to the cafe to watch State of Origin.  Up early tomorrow to pack up and go for boat ride then come back and grab our vans and head to Leichhardt Falls for a bush camp tomorrow night.  -- Regards Elisha

End of first day - Jimbour - Longeach

Image
Well we've had a BIG day of travelling. Left home at 6.20am and arrived in Longreach 10hrs later. We had breaky in Roma at Maccas then a late lunch in Tambo. Rained most of the way and the creeks between Barcaldine and Longreach are trickling over the road. Lovely falls out here. We are 'glamping' in a cabin in the Longreach caravan park as we didn't feel like setting up campers in shiny mud tonight. Puddles everywhere. Steak sangas, real shower and toilet a TV (to catch up with the Cook boys on House Rules) and a real bed tonight. Could've happened half way through the trip and these little luxuries would of been appreciated so much more. Will check in tomorrow as we've also been most spoilt with phone service most of the day.
