Wednesday 29-6-22:

The Ute has had a service and a couple of mods so its time to hit the road again and leave the chilly cane fields behind.



I drew a map of Australia on the battery cover.
will have to mark where this Ute has been on it.

Within 30 minutes of leaving home it started raining but had stopped by the time i got to my first camp at Lake Clarendon ... the dam was full and encroaching on the campground which was good to see .

I was able to park side on to the water even though there is a downhill slope because i had fitted a levelling system to the ute so i simply pumped up the right rear to make my bed level.

Thursday 30-6-22:

A lot of cloud in the sky but no rain so far and the sun even managed to break through to give me a chance to test the new door mounted solar panel.







The end of the camping area is under water.

I grabbed a Pie at Blackbutt and continued on to Yarraman Weir and set up camp there.

I walked up to the old Yarraman Station for a look around before heading back to camp and cooking up some dinner and settling in for the night.

Friday 1-7-22:

I drizzled rain all night and wasn't about to let up in the morning so i decided to stay in bed and watch movies ... but watching touring videos gave me itchy feet so i headed off around lunchtime and bought some red sugar coated peanuts at nanango.



I stopped for lunch at Kingaroy then headed up past Durong and pulled up at Jack Coe Park as it had 4 bars of 4G and i wanted to watch some more movies as it was still raining. Found a shelter so that made it easier to make my coffees.

Saturday 2-7-22:
Weather is still wet and miserable but since there is no dunny here i decided to nip into Mundubbera.



There is a weir in town on the Boyne River.



The Water Pumping station has been muralised .

I did a bit of shopping and headed up on the hill to the Mundubbera Jaycee Park and parked up.
