Another storm brewing, and we were heading towards it. Luckily we were the chasers not the chasees!
Started looking for another freecamp, and came upon this wonderful spot! Just out of Inglewood, on the banks of a river. It would have been perfection, if only the Cunningham Highway wasn't at the back door. Nonetheless, we spent two nights here being completely lazy. Reading, sleeping and generally doing nothing.
Sunset on the river.
Camp amongst the trees, and we were the only ones here.
Dez getting excited 'cos there was something finally on his line. Turned out to be a turtle ha ha ha!
Back he goes.
Couple of goannas about the place. And snakes!
Finally cold enough to have a fire again. So Dezzi got to break out the new chainsaw and sort some wood.
Read instructions. Check. Fill with fuel. Check.
Go for it making sure you are wearing your safety thongs and hat!
Little rippa!
So had a wonderful lazy couple of days here. But time for the final few days. We thought Lake Moogerah Dam. Do a bit of fishing and yabbieing. While away the time. Planned to be there Sunday afternoon to give all the noisy ski and jet boat folk a chance to pack up and go home, to leave us in peace. Hhhmmmmmm! We didn't know about Pupil Free Day did we. They were mostly all still there. We did a drive around, but, naaaaarrrrrhhhhh! And then to make matters worse, Bevy forgot to slide the fridge back in and shut the back door - ooooowwwww! So, broke the plastic around the handle, and the lock now is dodgy.
Also finally broke the stone guard off, which had first cracked back on the Savannah Way, and progressively gotten worse on every dirt road we have been on. Oh well! Stick it up on the roof! I cried. Dezzi said don't worry about it, and cuddled me. What a guy!
Anyway, back to the Road Atlas and headed down to Boonah for the night. And to sooth my misery Mr Whippy was there. One giant cone with a flake thanks :) What a lovely little town. The countryside in the Scenice Rim is so green and rolling, after all the flat and red dirt that we have seen it seemed strange.
Made camp at the Showgrounds, and pondered what other dams or camps to move on to. Only four days left. Gotta be somewhere! Look - Wyaralong Dam. Only canoes allowed. Beauty. Get there next morning, only tents allowed. Aaahhhh!
O.K. How about Tambourine Mountain? Bingo!
Happy to set up camp for our final stay.
Camp complete with Kookaburra's being harassed by Noisy Miners.
Excellent! Nice bush setting. Fires allowed. Not crowded. Can do some walks (Dez very happy about that?). Some lazy time round the pool. Aahhhh!
No one else there all afternoon but me.
Day two. Nice little walk down to Cedar Creek Falls. Very nice except for all the rubbish left behind. Absolutely disgusting. Dez picked all this up, and could have got more if we had a bag! In all our travels we have not seen this. Very disappointing.
Cedar Creek Falls.
Next stop the Skywalk. This was great. Walk up in the tree tops, and down in the understory. Very peaceful.
The Skywalk.
Looking down!
Lots of lush rainforest.
Very illusive butterflies - but I gotcha!
Then on to the village to the cheese factory for some goodies, and a decadent ice cream. mmmmmmm!
All three nights by the camp fire.
Off we go again...destination....Victoria Point for family cuddles......yeah:)
