A Dam Good Camping Spot

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

Ruins and Abandoned Mines Camping

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

Winton to Crocodile Dundees Walkabout Creek Hotel

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

3 Days at Bladensburg National Park

Having enough of the over crowded Apex Park and midnight runs from the local hoon on a motorbike that awoke even the dead. I decided to drive a few hundred km to check out Bladensburg National Park that had been recommended to me a few days ago by Tanya and Simon At Rubyvale. Will decided… Read More 3 Days at Bladensburg National Park

QANTAS Museum and an Unexpected Friendship

Iv’e been driving in the outback for a few hours and its a cloudless expanse of blue sky and dry grass. The roads are dead straight for 40km at a time and with no hills or turns you just set the cruise control and admire the view. Occasional you have to steer around the unfortunate… Read More QANTAS Museum and an Unexpected Friendship

Hiking 28km in Carnarvon National Park

Hiking Carnarvon Gorge It was a cool night with temperatures dropping to around 5 deg, so normally this would mean a slow start to the day. Over excited I didn’t really sleep much because I knew I would finally get to hike much longer hike than I’ve done in months, I have my bag packed… Read More Hiking 28km in Carnarvon National Park

The Gemfields Rubyvale

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

Driving to Carnarvon Gorge

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

Queensland Heritage Park

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

Cania Gorge National Park

So another day and another location, this time a I’m driving 300km to Cania Gorge north west of Bundaberg. This looked like a good spot to visit, as I’ve only heard good things about it from my friends in Bundaberg. I think my GPS wanted to impress me with a nice scenic drive through a… Read More Cania Gorge National Park
