It was difficult to drag ourselves away from the peace and tranquillity of Oondooroo station but there are loads of other places we wanted to see and we didn’t want to delay too long in case we had to rush later. So onwards to Longreach it was. Our original plan was to stay outside theContinue reading “Longreach”

We had two options of travel from Longreach. The A road which would take us south to a few little towns and then back East or the B road where we hit even littler towns and headed further west and south before heading East. We didn’t know when we were going to be out hereContinue reading “Stonehenge”

We often joke about being in “the back of beyond” or “the middle of nowhere” and on our way to Windorah from Stonehenge we certainly felt that we might have found either one of those locations. The road itself added to the sense of remoteness as we only passed 2 vehicles going the other way.Continue reading “Windorah”

Leaving Windora it felt a little like the turning point home as it was the most westerly point we were going to see on this part of the trip. Next stop was Quilpie which we had picked soley due to the fact that it was a 3 hour drive away. The drive itself was veryContinue reading “Quilpie”

The road from Quilpie to Charleville was two lanes (one each direction) all the way and although it could hardly be described as being busy there was noticeably more traffic. On arrival in Charleville we first went to a campsite just outside of town and began to set up. The temperature out here has beenContinue reading “Charleville”

A couple of people had recommended a stop just outside Mitchell and so we decided to join our friends there for a night or two. On arrival the spot looked fantastic and we set up camp right by a river. It was a free camp and there were about 6 other groups there and weContinue reading “Fisherman’s Rest just outside Mitchell”

The decision to not stay another night at Mitchell was unfortunately easy and we packed up and set off not really knowing where we were headed but knew that we had 4 nights left and a fair few km before we had to be back on the Sunshine Coast. The plan was to just driveContinue reading “Just South of Yuleba”

We had a final destination of Sunny coast for Tim’s appointments and we were both super excited to be heading home to see friends and family. We spent a week down in Caloundra where we enjoyed a 50metre walk to the beach and the days got even better when Tim got his good news aboutContinue reading “Sunshine Coast and Brisbane”

We haven’t really talked about what has happened to us/me in the blog and there are probably a load of reasons that I should write more and a load that I shouldn’t. I did feel though that the latest visit to see Jennifer (my doctor) needed to be mentioned. While we have been aware thatContinue reading “Cryptococcus Update”

It was a little strange getting started on our trip again after enjoying spending time with family and friends in the Sunshine Coast and Brisbane. We were pretty excited though to be beginning the next phase of our trip even though at the time of leaving Brisbane we weren’t really sure where our final destinationContinue reading “Moogerah Lake”
