20220609 Qld Roma to Eumamurrin

20220609 Arriving in Roma we restock our supplies then head out to Bungeworgorai Creek, a free camp about 10km from Roma where Wendy has saved our  camp spot. The last time we were here we encountered a crazy lady with a heap of dogs who was very agitated and became abusive, stay away from one’s like that.

The creek is higher this time and there’s heap of wood, what more could you want, we set up camp and settled in for a few days of games, reading, collecting wood and what ever else we wanted to do.

We poured diesel down the centre of the log then stuffed paper down the guts, I placed it on the fire then waited for the flames to come up the centre but then Des got impatient and decided to chop it up, the idea was for the fire to burn from the inside out.

It’s bloody freezing out here, I so wish I had a nice warm scarf to ware like Wendy’s.😏😅

Wendy cooks up a mean camp roast chicken and veggies and it was scrumptious, Des even went back for seconds
Wendy hit’s the sack while Des and I sit around the fire and get the giggles every time she start’s up her diesel heater, it sounds just like a jet engine that's about to take off.
Wendy found a new sister, her name is Sara and she’s on the road permanently, he was a talker that’s for sure.

These travellers pulled in for a wee break and we just had to check out the old Ford, it has a 600 hp Nissan engine, the owner was so proud of the finished product that he and his son did up.

It has a new Nissan dash and they even put electric window's in her, as great as it looked, I would have much prefered it be kept original.

The wheels cost $400 each which shocked Des and I thinking they were worth much more.

20220613 Well it’s time to move on plus we need to stops in Roma for a few things so Wendy takes off to finds a camp somewhere along the way.  With all of our chores done we head towards Injune when Wendy phones, she’s found a camp spot about 50km out of Roma and there’s heaps of wood, that will do us.

The full moon light’s up the sky tonight at Eumamurrin.

There's nothing like sitting around a nice toastie fire in the middle of no were with not a person in site, just the cattle trucks that go back and forth.

Ha Grandma, what ya doing with that big ball.😆


Now let’s think about this, yes it’s a release valve and when you lift the tap water releases, but there’s something not right.🤔

Bugger, no yabbies in this dam.

Well Des may have caught no Yabbies but Wendy cooks a nice cake, how’s that for camp cooking.

THE END
Location: Roma QLD 4455, Australia

20250406 What an amazing experience, we are so proud of our little man Hamish after being excepted to be part of a high level U12 squad to travel to Spain to participate in the MICFootball Tournament. (Costa Brava, Barcelona). MICFootball is one of the most prestigious youth football tournaments in the world that’s been running for over 20 years. Many of the highest quality and well known clubs from around the world participate in this tournament every year. Teams such as FC Barcelona, Real Madrid, Liverpool FC and Bayern Munich just to name a few and now that day has finally arrived and we are all very excited. Des prepared us  a late lunch,  his famous prawn cutlets that we pigged out on before heading to the airport, we had a clear run all the way and arrived in ample time so after our goodbyes we watched as Des drove off until he returns in three weeks to pick us up. Des drops us off and with our suit case in tow we head inside to check in our luggage, let the fun begin. F...

20240911 NSW Moonbi Lookout to Walcha, Aratula to Home

Image
20240911 On our way towards Tamworth, we heard there rain heading our way so our aim is to park at the lookout in Moonbi that has solid ground. The wood has been stripped around the camp site so I walked deeper into the bush and returned with a bag, there’s no stopping me when it comes to my fires. Des prepared dinner while I set up the fire, we had dinner then sat around my nice fire while sitting under the nights stars and enjoying a few ales. We had a new camper turn up today and camped just in front of us with his little Jack Russell Dog who came for a visit and took a liking to Des. The Moonbi Lookout, Perched on a huge granite outcrop at an elevation of 754m (2,473ft) above the sea level. The View overlooking the valley below, stunning. The Moonbi Lookout is off the New England highway then follow the Lookout Road to the car park at the top where there is plenty of room for overnight parking. When camping at the lookout follow the track and check out the old stone built amenities...

20240909 NSW Baan Baa

20240909 We left Narrabri looking for Gin’s Leap rest area that’s apparently is on the highway and I have no doubt there will be lots of traffic noise. OMG! We just passed a fox sitting on the edge of the road that looked like a lost puppy, or it had a full belly from pigging out on the dead carcass or maybe it was just watching the traffic go by.  The road from Narrabri is a smooth drive, so far, as we search for a place to camp, when we spotted a road to the left so Des turned off and there in the middle of nowhere stood an old pub in the town of Baan Baa. W e asked if we could say the night, sure the young barmaid said, the meals looked delicious, they had my favourite crumbed lamb chops so thats me sorted for dinner.  I walked the town and got some photos before retiring to the van for a nap while listening to the laughter coming from the Pub so later in the afternoon we cracked a beer, drank it then off to the pub we went. Des found his place at the bar. On opening the do...
