We woke early and took Bandit for a walk along the river, which we could access directly from the caravan park. There were lots of little birds and it was a very pleasant start to the day.Once back on-site, we had breakfast and then dealt with our collected washing-up at the camp kitchen - then started our packing up.
We were quicker but there were still issues securing the camper trailer lid, even without wind.
Vaughan called for a halt not too far along the road, to check out a rocky outcrop, and we all enjoyed stretching our legs.
It was nice to see some flowering shrubs and trees up close and we spotted a couple of small roos also.
Meat Ant Park at Augathella was our picnic lunch spot. The copper sculpture was very neat! You can see pics of it with the artist, here.
Nick and I used the nearby toilets after lunch, both chortling hugely over the chained loo brushes!
We made it to Blackall that night, arriving around 4pm and setting up quite smoothly. We met lovely neighbours and chatted for a long time, swapping life stories. (Nick played a few on his songs for them as we sat outside).
I made a creamy bacon/mushroom pasta dish, using some ingredients from Augathella as well as UHT cream brought from home. It's an easy, favourite stand-by and worked well - as usual!
Day 3, Mitchell to Blackall - 410km
