Kilkivan to Kingaroy (South Burnett) Rail Trail - Day 3

9 April 2023 – Easter Sunday

The Easter Bunny visited the two “children” (seventeen-year-olds) overnight.  From Murgon to Wondai is my favourite part of the Kilkivan to Kingaroy Rail Trail. The path is bitumen, so easy walking, and the scenery is predominantly bushland with very little roads.  In Wondai we met up with the sixth member of our party.  We dropped some items no longer needed off into his car and picked up the further items he had brought for us. The staff in the Wondai IGA were very helpful with locating the items we wished to purchase for lunch and the next days supplies.

From here the path went through rolling farming country.  Mid-afternoon, we did some redistribution of weight as my knee was slowing my pace to a level that was too slow to arrive in the daylight. We stopped in Tingoora for afternoon tea and then continued on to camp the night at Wooroolin arriving just before sunset.  Here we discovered that while the town has free hot showers, the water available is straight from the dam and not wise to drink without filtering.  The local pub was full of friendly people and does a good pizza.

NOTE: Tingoora is the last town before Kingaroy where there is readily available drinking water – fill up here.
