Tambo to Aramac
Apparently it got down to below zero last night, but it didn’t feel that cold in the van. After a quick fill of fuel we started heading to Blackall. On the way the Ute started playing up and Chris assumed it was water in the fuel filter. We stopped for morning tea and drained the … Continue reading Tambo to Aramac
Swinging Bridge to Tambo
Last night we stopped at Swinging Bridge at Cooyar, the go to place for us when heading west it seems. We had an early night as we knew we would be up early and on the road by 6am. It was a bit of a slow drive with road works, bad head winds, slow traffic … Continue reading Swinging Bridge to Tambo

Toogoolawah
From Bonshaw we went via Texas which was indeed packed with campers, probably hunkering down while the school holidays were on. Plenty of space though. From there it was the back way up to Toowoomba. It is now a very busy place and so green compared to where we have been. Out to Hampton and down … Continue reading Toogoolawah
Bonshaw Weir
We were sad to leave the great camping spot we had here at Bingara but with only a few days left this trip we had to move on. We were going to stop at Severn River, at the time the grass was long but it was being mowed, there was very little water in the … Continue reading Bonshaw Weir
Bingara
Now we are talking 🙂 but more on that later. As you come into town there are some lovely painted silos. We love it when town’s do this sort of thing. The people who paint these are very talented and it's amazing how they can paint such detail, be able to paint so close up … Continue reading Bingara
