I did not travel far as I was taking in the beautiful scenery. I stopped at Cruice Park according to my book it was supposed to be a good site, well it was really but on a very busy fast road so it was quite noisy. Anyway in the morning it was quite fun as a lot of travellers stopped to have a cup of tea, as usual I chatted to all, including a bunch of bikers. I drove off down a very pretty road past Somerset Dam and Esk. I have been on this road before, it is a lovely drive.
I stopped at a very nice site at Ravensboume 466 for those that have Camps4. I stayed another night here as I was on lovely green grass. Unfortunately it rained most of the night and in the morning the mist was so thick that you could hardly see in front of you. So I decided to head West instead, I left the U.K because of the rain.
January 30th After driving through very misty roads it started to clear near Toowoomba I bypassed the town as I had been here before. I reached Millmerran on the Gore HWY a very well kept small town. I stopped at Goondiwindi quite nice but not impressed but they had a very good bakers and they are hard to find in Australia. I reach my night spot 723 Nindigully Hotel an excellent spot right by the river several campers at this spot fishing and one man caught 5 turtle's. I strolled up to the pub it was happy hour so a beer was on the menu.
January 31st I greased up the shackle pins and repaired a mud flap on Plod not much else really generally lazed around watching people trying to catch fish instead of Turtles. The evening was great fun as a lot of very friendly bikers came in and stayed at the pub.
February 1st I was taken for a ride on a Harley Davidson Motorbike and time we had messed about as you do, it was lunch time so here I am another night at Nindigully Hotel.
February 2nd I went for a trip into St George brought some provisions drove back to Nindigully and then in the pub for a cold beer as it was happy hour, a lot of campers and locals were in the pub and a very interesting evening it was too. I went back to Plod and I cooked potatoes and some fresh fish for my evening meal.
February 3rd Time I was moving on so up to Mitchell I will go. I reached Mitchell at the Neil Turner Weir this was a lovely spot with nicely mowed lawns. Another camper was there as well.
February 4th I went on to Amby on my way to Roma in order to go on line at the Big4 site. I stopped at Amby where I had been before and was greeted with open arms. I got my usual deal free electricity and food for a little help around the place so I decided to stay a while. I am off to Charleville to watch how they do things out in the bush mustering up the cattle which I am very much looking forward to.

Great adventure Julie and following yr ever move on the map. We were amazed how green the country was south of Sydney and looks like its better green where you are too. Terrible news about Victoria, so many people died with the fires and arson is being talked about. To keep you up to date this end, weather is awful, rain, snow, cold and pretty miserable on the hole. So stay where you are for some time to come. Keep finding those internet cafes, you are doing so well with your blogs.
Hi Julie, Hope you are well and safe away from the terrible fires and that you are still enjoying yourself. I Norm vera's husband? And who was Geoff, was he the one who's funeral you went to? Drop me a line at pauline@millenj.wanadoo.co.uk. Keep safe love Pauline x x
