Cape York - Day 26, Paronella Park to O'Connell River 11/07/2018

Today we started the dash home, so we packed up early so we had enough time for a quick look around Paronella Park before hitting the road. The other advantage of staying overnight is that you have access to the gardens before it opens for the day and can wonder around and have the place almost to yourselves.

Not much to report from today, it really was a transit day... . Late in the arvo we reached Bowen where we filled up with diesel and literally hit the dead zone for free camping. We checked Wiki Camps and there were no free camp options along our route between Bowen and Mackay so we continued south and pulled into the O'Connell River Caravan park. Here we had the un-powered section to ourselves and had a nice view over the river, unfortunately the highway was quite close and we had a restless night due to the traffic noise.

Distance travelled = 541km

Its getting cold, almost home....

Birdsville Trip Day 3 Quilpie to Haddon Corner 450km

Image
We woke to a beautiful morning with a spectacular sunrise over Lake Houdraman. This morning we took our time packing up and I did a last minute check over the car and camper as we hit the dirt today. Our first stop for the day was Windorah which was our last opportunity for fuel and water before reaching Birdsville. We filled up the car and 2 jerry cans then visited the Windorah Pub for a couple of beers and a burger for lunch. After lunch we continued on to Haddon Corner, the road conditions were good and we were soon turning onto the Birdsville Development road and the beginning of the dirt roads. We pulled over and let the tyres down and continued on. The roads appeared to have been recently graded and were quiet good, the only rough sections were the last section to Haddon Corner. Around 3.30 we arrived at Haddon Corner and had a couple of beers in Qld and SA. We had a chat to a couple of other travelers  and signed the guest book. After an hour or so we crossed a coup

Cape York - Day 25, Granite Gorge Nature Park to Paronella Park 10/07/2018

Last night was much cooler and I'm glad we had the doona in our swag… This morning we explored the nature park and the kids held some snakes and birds before we grabbed some Wallaby food and headed down to Wallaby rock. Here we spent almost an hour feeding the Wallabies and the kids had a great time, they are very friendly and keen to get a feed. Our tip would be to feed them in the mornings like we did, apparently they get a little full by the arvo and aren't so keen later in the day. Next stop was the Coffee Works in Mareeba, it was great to have a look around again and taste some of the chocolate and yummy liqueurs. After picking up some of our favourite liqueurs and some gifts for family and friends we had another proper coffee before hitting the road again. Our route took us through Atherton and then Malanda and Milla Milla where we stopped for a look at each of the falls which were quite spectacular. This drive through the rain forests and over the ranges was really s

Emu Creek, Benarkin State Forest - 12 and 13th of January

Image
We just got back from our latest camping trip to one of our favourite camping spots – Emu Creek, Benarkin State Forest http://www.nprsr.qld.gov.au/parks/benarkin/camping.html This campground has only just re-opened after being shut for nearly 2 years, the floods of January 2011 damaged a large section of the road into the campground. We couldn’t believe how different everything looks with so much vegetation and soil being removed from some sections of the river bank as you head into Emu Creek. It would have been amazing to see the power of the water coming   down through the valley. There is a large section of road works as you head up the Blackbutt Range on the D’Aguilar Highway repairing the road and concreting the sides of the hills to prevent future landslips in heavy rain, according to the sign costing $39.7 million… The Emu Creek campground is a large open grassy area suitable for all forms of camping. Access is suitable for conventional vehicles but the track is qui
