Day 37: Sun 28 Jun 26 - Yeppoon

Sun 28 Jun 26 - Yeppoon

17 to 22, Cloudy with morning and afternoon showers, and  a persistant fresh SE wind.

A few walks between showers today, a massage for Noeleene to treat her neck and shoulder tightness in the morning, and for me an afternoon indoors planning a return trip home, via central Australia. At this stage we are looking to leave Yeppoon on Wednesday, with a couple of nights in Rockhampton before continuing west. The highlight of the day was a tasty roast lamb for dinner.

Days 8-27 Sat 30 May - Thu 18 Jun 26 - Gladstone (New daily posts at the top of this page)

Sat 30 May - Thu 18 Jun 26 - Gladstone & Rockhampton New daily posts added below. Thu 18  Jun:    17 to 24 Degrees, mostly clear with light easterly winds. I started the day with another long morning walk then took Mum to a GP appointment as a follow up to her surgery so I could join her while I'm still in town - needless to say, Dr Abi was thrilled to see Mum smiling and pain free again. With us leaving Gladstone tomorrow, I had a few more odd jobs to finish and appointments to schedule - in home Physio appointment Tue, GP review Wed and Orthopaedic post-surgery review in July. Meanwhile Noeleene was busy in the Greenhouse and Olli was running himself into the ground playing with Greg's dog 'Whiskey'. After lunch, school mate Barry and Helen dropped by Mum's for a visit for a couple of hours, and it was great to catch up. A few more farewells followed, then we had dinner with Mum before returning to the van, ready for bed. It's been a very busy day, and pre...

Day 50: Sat 11 Jul 26 - Dinosaur Creek to Cloncurry

Image
Sat 11 Jul  26 - Dinosaur Creek to Cloncurry (279km) 11 Deg overnight to 29 Degrees at Cloncurry, clear with light winds. It was very quiet last night and we had a very good sleep. After a slow start, we eventually pulled away from a wonderful overnight stay, and first stop was a little over 100km away at Kynuna. My only interest here was the Blue Heeler hotel, but the hotel didn't open till 11:00, and the grumpy old woman inside wasn't having anyone take a look inside any earlier, even though the 'ricketty old shack' was wide open. It didn't look that interesting anyway, so we continued on our way to our next stop McKinlay. The Walkabout Hotel at McKinlay, was a very different story to the Blue Heeler, buzzing with activity, and the lady behind the bar was very friendly. Noel and I had a soft drink on the front verandah, took a few photos then continued on our way to Cloncurry. The road today was very rough and bumpy for 2/3 of the way to McKinlay, then although a ...

Day 2: Sun 24 May 26 - Molong to Coonabarabran

Image
Sun 24 May 26 - Molong to Coonabarabran (276km) 10 Degrees and partly cloudy at Molong, to 20 Degree and partly cloudy at Coonabarabran.  A bit of a restless first night, but good to be travelling again. I took Olli for an early walk around the golf course, then after 30 minutes of ridding him of the sticky red dirt followed by breakfast, we set just after 09:00. Surprisingly for a  Sunday there was a lot of heavy transport on the road, but overall it was another cruisy day on the road. We had a short fuel stop at Wellington, then at Gilgandra we had a nice long lunch break at the information centre rest area, then continued to Coonabarabran. Our stopover for tonight is at the Coonabarabran Showgrounds with plenty of open space, a nice grassy site (without prickles) and sharing it with only 2 other vans. The powered site with water costing $25 for the night.  Lunch break at Gilgandra Lunch break at Gilgandra - The town of Windmills Lunch break at Gilgandra - The...
