Lake Elphinstone is a naturally occurring body of water approximately 3.5 km long and approximately 1 km wide from the centre. The lake is the largest natural freshwater body in Central Queensland. Due to Lake Elphinstone being uniformly shallow, it’s waters have a relatively high level of plant nutrients containing a range of food plants … Continue reading Lake Elphinstone
Moving north
As we continue to slowly move north we had to be very mindful again of wet muddy ground and pick any over night stops very carefully. We stopped at Dululu for a night and managed to get a concrete slab for our annex which was cool and gravel to park on. It’s a great donation … Continue reading Moving north
Three Moons
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
Shiny Things
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
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
M & M
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
