On the way to Mary Kathleen yesterday I spotted a signpost for camping at Corella Dam, this I have to checkout before driving to Cloncurry. I arrive at a closed gate with a chain around and a sign saying please keep the gate closed, which I obey and then drive through some water halfway up… Read More A Dam Good Camping Spot
Todays trip I was going to be visiting old ruins of Mary Kathleen and an abandoned uranium mine. I decided to drive through Cloncurry as I would have to double back in a few days to drive the Overlander’s Way on my trip to Townsville. First stop off was the Burke and Wills monument to… Read More Ruins and Abandoned Mines Camping
I was sad to be leaving Bladensburg National Park so I went for a final walk around the dry river bed to soak up a little early morning sun in the hope of warming up. As I was walking through the small grass tuffs I startled a kangaroo who obviously had the same idea. It… Read More Winton to Crocodile Dundees Walkabout Creek Hotel
Having enough of the over crowded Apex Park and midnight runs from the local hoon on a motorbike that awoke even the dead.

Morning Chat Sometimes you just wake up and have no idea where you’re going to be heading in the afternoon. I hear a drone flying and head over to Trevor as he promised me a demonstration of his DJI Mavic 2 Pro. Trevor ends up giving me some drone footage to use in my Carnarvon… Read More The Gemfields Rubyvale
Well sometimes it not about the destination its about the drive and today was an exceptional drive. I just wish I’d stopped more to take photos. This was a nice easy 3.5hr drive over relatively small hills and occasionally having to stop for droving, which is big arse cows on the road. I had one… Read More Driving to Carnarvon Gorge
After talking to a couple at my last campsite, they mentioned a cheap place to stay at Heritage Park a 130km a way. So I plotted this in to my GPS at it thought it would be funny to take me down a dirt road that ended up in a private property and not linking… Read More Queensland Heritage Park
So another day and another location, this time a I’m driving 300km to Cania Gorge north west of Bundaberg.
