We slowly made our way back towards Brisbane with a scheduled appointment we had been waiting on. Passing through Kingaroy and Nanango luckily before the heavy rains came and caused flooding in the towns. This is the loop we did over the last 7 weeks, while we were waiting for an appointment date. In Brisbane … Continue reading Wescloud

What an awesome little town Monto is. Very close to Cania George, main Street with lots of shops, couple of supermarkets and the cheapest fuel we have seen in ages at the Puma. There is a 72hr RV stop in the town area at the old railway station. One area was not in use from … Continue reading Three Moons

It’s amazing how many of these little towns have something special about them, some sort of interesting history, something unique to them. But I get ahead of myself. The sun is shining once more after nearly a week of overcast skies and wet days. After leaving the Gem fields we stopped at Emerald and filled … Continue reading Moura

The gem fields in Qld again is another area we have driven by many times promising to call in one day. Well one day finally came. We booked into 3 nights at Gemini Caravan Park at $20 a night for power and water is extremely good value. Also being away from the main areas it … Continue reading Shiny Things
Bogantungan
We stopped for the night about half way between Blackall and Jericho, just a bit of a roadstop pull over with a few areas off the side to get further away. Bit of a quick trip through Jericho and Alpha. Filling up one of the fuel tanks at Alpha, ouch. We stopped for the night … Continue reading Bogantungan
Meat Ants & Teddie Bears
We had heard great things about the donation camps at Augathella. The main area one is across the road from the pub, access to showers, toilets, potable water, bins and a nice scroll up the street. This area was very full, certainly a popular spot. There are a couple of others a bit further away … Continue reading Meat Ants & Teddie Bears
Charleville
A bit behind on our posts, so will post a couple to catch up over the next few days. Charleville is another one of those places we have just driven by heading to a further destination. This time it was time to explore it. We stopped for a few nights out of town at the … Continue reading Charleville

Mitchell is known for the Great Artesian Spa, lovely hot pools but there is another side to Mitchell some people might not know. The infamous Kenniff brothers, bushrangers who liked other people’s property, especially cattle and horses. They avoided capture for sometime due to being elusive and a general lack of evidence. In March 1902 … Continue reading M & M
Cattle, cow, bull, Mucka?
Roma is another one of those places we often fuel up and keep on driving. This time we had planned to stay one night in Roma, visit a few stores for some supplies, check out the local sites, fuel up and leave the next day. After a big day shopping we decided we needed another … Continue reading Cattle, cow, bull, Mucka?
Sunset Way
We have survived (just) the mossie plague of 2022. We stayed at Meandarra for 3 days and the first day in particular they were really bad. We were ready to leave the next day but the cold weather has knocked them back a bit. The whole region is bad at the moment we have been … Continue reading Sunset Way
