Bollon and St George (Natural Sciences Loop)


Friday 8 April 2017 – 168 ??? - 35°C

The campsite was very pretty as well as peaceful.  There is a nice breeze that keeps the fly numbers down.  We had a sponge bath again today, we definitely need to find a shower or pool today! After packing up, we went for a walk along Walam Creek where we had camped.  It is very pretty and there were hundreds of small birds flitting around in the early morning light.  We drove to Bollon, a small friendly town.



Next stop, St George.  We filled up on fuel and paid to use the showers at the caravan park.  We all feel and smell so much better!! We found ourselves a country café and had great hamburgers for lunch. 

We then visited the library to check our emails and Hayden got to read a book.  We drove to Dalby Tourist Park and set up for the night here once again.






Saturday 9 April – 168 756 – 169 114


Last night was a much cooler night, I even needed my sleeping bag.  We all enjoyed a sleep in and were packed down and away by 10am.  We headed for Jandowae to see the Dingo Fence, but, it turned out to be 110km further away along dirt roads and 4WD tracks, so we decided against this. We drove back to the coast via Bell and Kaimkillenbun, where we stopped for lunch.  We drove through areas of cotton and then grain, before arriving home to give everything a clean.

Total Distance 2767km
