Eungella National Park and Change of Plans


Saturday 6 July 2019 – 266 568

This morning began with Bowen Parkrun.  A very welcoming group. https://www.parkrun.com.au/bowen/


After packing down, we headed toward Eungella National Park.
https://parks.des.qld.gov.au/parks/eungella/ On the way we stopped in Marian at the Visitor Information Centre, which had previously been the home of Dame Nelly Melba. https://www.mackayregion.com/melba-house  Broken River looks like a beautiful campground in an amazing national park; unfortunately, though today it was covered in cloud and raining solidly with massive amounts of water pouring off the mountainside.  We decided to buy lunch at a café to avoid sitting in the pouring rain. https://www.eungellachalet.com.au/ Over lunch we did some rethinking of our holiday plans and decided to forfeit our national park camping fees and head towards Emerald in an attempt to escape the rain.


We have camped for the night at Winchester Rest Area near Morambah on the Peak Downs Highway.  I will need to do some research tonight.
