Gladstone

Tuesday 26th April 2005, (Gladstone).
On Sunday night, at Warremba, one new guest, John, and Adrian started talking about how to cook in a camp oven, it seems that John is a chef. This conversation led to: “Why don’t we have a roast tomorrow and show you”. With this the park management donated some roast beef, […]

Carnarvon Gorge

Saturday 23rd April 2005, (Carnarvon Gorge).
We had our first day at the gorge today to see what was on offer and how long it would take to see it all. There are several walks and for us it would be impossible to do it all in one day. It looks like we may need about […]

Again it has been a while since putting words down, so it is an indication that we have been resting and not doing anything that would inspire me to write anything down.
I have been rather busy though helping a neighbour with their laptop. I’m not sure now that it was […]

Roma

Friday 15th April 2005, (Roma).
We are now at Roma, about 200k north of St George. We have been here before in 2002, and thoughts about timing revealed that we arrived here almost to the day 3 years after last visit. Last time we arrived here on the 14th April. One surprising this with this visit […]

St George

Monday 11th April 2005, (St George).
Exercise was the order of the day for yesterday with a walk into town. We went along the river walk almost to the weir and the heat was the telling factor upon our return home. Heat must be the main factor affecting my diabetes, because I was not muscularly exhausted, […]

St George

An odd lucky break with the TV today, with a fault that it had. It has been playing up lately with an intermittent colour problem, with the screen going all one colour, either pink or green. A thump on the floor would generally fix it, but lately it has taken […]

St George

Friday 8th April 2005, (St George).
Our ill feelings of Cunnamulla and the area came to fruition this morning at 6:00 AM when there was a drunken revelry by the local blacks on the street next to the park just over the fence from where we were parked. At 6:15 Linda suggested we pack up and […]

Cunnamulla

Chapter 31
Back in Queensland
Thursday 7th April 2005, (Cunnamulla).
We have moved from Bourke to Cunnamulla today and are so far having regrets about our decision to move. The caravan park at Bourke was very nice and would have been a good place to stay for a couple of days and had a rest. We had instead […]

In hinesite, after a move to Cunnamulla today, it might have been an idea if we had stayed at Bourke for a couple more days, more explanations in next chapter. The caravan park at least was ok there and it would have been a great rest stop. We did have […]

Bourke

Monday 4th April 2005, (Bourke).
Another move now sees us at Bourke, 160k north of Cobar. This is another town that we have been looking forward to visiting, but what we have seen so far and stories we have heard have detracted from what we thought our ideas would have been. This is another town with […]
