20240710 Qld Dululu to Lake Victoria.

20240710 On the corner of Burnett and Leichhardt Highway is the town of Dululu, the last time we were here was in 2012 when the old Pub was still standing, unfortunately on the 21 Sept 2015 the Dululu Hotel was gutted after a fire broke out. A new one hotel is in the process of being built, it’s the same style but much more modern. We camper at Dululu campground with hot showers and a great BBQ which we love to take advantage of, but man it shits me when people don’t clean up after themselves.

Aww, he’s a good little chef, he likes his BBQ but only when we’re travelling, he hates cooking on our BBQ at home.🧑‍🍳 

It’s called a donation box and it’s at the Dululu Campgrounds, it’s there if you hook up to power and it’s only $10 so please support these little towns who support all travellers passing through. I know for sure they’re in need of a plumber to fix the leaking shower hoses that are covered in a hundred mile tape to try and stop them from leaking in both showers.


Unfortunately the old pub is gone after serving the community and travellers for over 97 years.

We grabbed a beer and walked down the road to check out the new Pub, the gate was open so we walked in and there was a guy painting who let us through for a look. We were told there’s a new silo farm project happening just up the road, hence why all the new rooms and the extra large veranda out the back.

Nine years it’s taken to rebuild and it’s still not completed.

Check out the sexy Barn Doors😁

The painter recons it should be opening in August some time, but I’m not really confident, there’s still a lot of work to be done.

There’s a massive inclosed veranda out the back and many rooms upstairs.

20240711 It’s time to leave and I found a new camp not far from here to a place caller Lake Victoria. Getting there: Take the Burnett Hwy about 50km north from Biloela or 20Km south from Dululu. From the Hwy take Dooneys Rd about 4km till you see the signed gated road to the right. Once through the gate take this road about a 3km out to the lake. I wouldn’t even attempt this track if there’s rain about as it’s black dirt will definitely become boggy and only accessible by 4WD, especially after major rain events.

The road was like this all the way, thank god.

Lake Victoria on Sunset and in the distance are many pelicans swimming up stream. 

A Beautiful Camp
Location: Dululu QLD 4702, 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.

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...

20250408 Spain Madrid 3

Image
20250408 It’s still the same day as we continue our walk along the streets of Madrid, the main homes are units, mainly because i t has almost 3.5 million  inhabitants and a metropolitan area  population of approximately 7 million. Madrid  began in the 9th century with the founding of a fortress named "Mayrit" by the Emir Muhammad of Córdoba, the city flourished under Arab rule but was later reconquered by Christians when it became part of the Kingdom of Castile. In 1561, Madrid was officially made the capital of Spain by King Philip III. C heck out these buildings they are so beautiful and unique and I did notice there are no cloths lines hanging outside, but don’t be deceived there’s a lot of little nooks and crannies hidden out the back of these buildings. Sharyn and Hamish were checking out another sports store when I noticed a heap of people outside of this restaurant, being me I went to investigate only to find out it’s the oldest restaurant in the world, dating back...
