Friday - Deeper into the Bush


We woke up to cloudless blue sky and went shopping for our camping trip. This done Rosena and I sneaked off to get a half hour on the internet in a computer shop and then it was time to hit the road. We are now heading pretty much due west into Queensland, where the countryside is looking lovely after the recent rain. Anne and John say that they have never seen this area so green. The roads in Queensland are fairly empty but you have to watch out for road trains, enormous wagons towing several trailers which give way to no-one. To start with the roads were well surfaced and maintained although straight to the point of being boring although as we got nearer to the Carnarvon Range things deteriorated.

At about 4 p.m.we arrived at Takkaraka Bush Resort, our home for the next 3 nights. We have a canvas cabin here while John and Anne have a pitch for their camper nearby. Anne's sister in law, Shanene, and her friends Terry and Gayle are also here so we have quite a party.

Speaking of parties we had a barbie tonight with Aussie nibbles beforehand, which included cream cheese doused in sweet chilli sauce. It was interesting. The steaks and sausages were really good.We finished the evening sitting round a campfire chatting away to fellow campers from all around Australia and then off to our canvas cabin for a good night's sleep.

Same problem with photos
