LAST DAY

So this is our last day in Wauchope, and once again, we have been treated to another Summer Storm being it was so humid again today. 

We were expecting hail…..which luckily didn’t eventuate, but there was lots of rain. 



It’s passed over and the sun is out….making it even steamier…

So we are all packed up and ready to move on in the morning. 

I thought we had explored every inch of this place, but just found out there is a Koala Sculpture Trail. 
We will have to come back and visit that when the weather has cooled down.

So these photos are from their website.








There are 80+ of them dotted around here and Port Macquarie. So you would need a cool day to visit all of them. 



This one is just up the road from here, outside the hospital. He blends in well with the tree. 

So that’s it for Wauchope. We are looking forward to moving on in the morning. 

Take care everyone ❤️❤️

DUARINGA QLD

Image
After staying two days at Dingo, we decided we would move on. We thought the wind may have settled down a bit today, but of course…it was still blowing…so off we went to tackle it.  Luckily for us we had a great wind break all along as it was quite thick bush. 😊 So a big day driving……all of 40km 🤣…we arrived at Duaringa.  We have been here a few times before, but it’s one of our favourite camp spots.  There’s a population of 262 people.  The Dawson River is close by, and supplies Duaringa’s town water. The Dawson and MacKenzie River both join up north-east of Duaringa to form the Fitzroy River, which eventually flows through the city of Rockhampton.  A mural depicting the three rivers is painted on the back of the Duaringa Historical & Info Centre, facing the Capricorn Highway….. Also at the Info centre is a free WiFi point for all the travellers that need to charge, or need free WiFi which is a great idea.  I remember many years ago we were staying h...

WANDOAN QLD

Image
Wandoan is a lovely town in the Western Downs Region. It was formerly known as Juandah. In 1926, it was renamed Wandoan to avoid confusion with Jundah….near Longreach.  Population is 566…..with the median age of people being 38 years old! (You’d have to be young to work on this land) Travelling here through the bush, there were a lot of dead kangaroos (which isn’t unusual ) but there were loads of huge black bores dead on the road. Hate to hit one of those big buggers! There is no TV reception here, so every man and their dog has a satellite dish.🤣🤣 (Last night we stayed at the small town of Taroom….but they had no TV and no Internet!! 😳😳) Danny Deckchair made another appearance…..you kids will know what I’m talking about 🤣🤣🤣🙄 There is no rail service here,  so the old train station now houses the tourist info centre.  It’s a very interesting town.  Good doggie.. So clever. All from scraps…and old tools. The towns water supply In 1965, reticulated water (safe...

MORE TRAVELS BACK TO TWEED HEADS.

Image
Left Forbes in the rain and headed to Dunedoo…population 1,000   Lighting wasn’t that good as it decided to come over stormy. We stayed the night at the small caravan park, $30….. bit overpriced, but like everything….the price has gone up.  Next day, after travelling on some horrific roads…..we got to Merriwa. We stayed behind the Pub, which was free, got some shopping an the local IGA, found this lovely Mural on the side wall made out of corrugated iron…. And basically stayed in the caravan as it rained all day and night.  Luckily next day, it had stopped raining, it was very muddy though where we were staying. Yuk  Headed off again, road conditions got worse, and stopped for the night at Gerry’s Plains.  It’s our usual stop free stop over. We found a nice spot next to the fence line, and had an audience as we set up. These horses are always here to greet you every time we come. So I had a lovely view while doing the dishes out of my kitchen window all afternoo...
