Just outside of Barcaldine. There was a not nice, irritating smell at this great camp site last night, we thought one of the camp fires was burning something dodgy. Then, after we went to bed a noise like a jet warming up started...went all night. I've just googled it and it appears we are right next door to a gas fired power station! I'm surprised they are allowed to make so much noise and smell....only 2 km from town. Now we are in the Drummond Ranges, lovely to have some variety in the landscape. Lawrie is collecting firewood for tonight.
We are on the way back to the Gold Coast so Lawrie can get his house in order (literally) before we set off again. I must warn you that we may have picked up some bad habits on our travels. If we come round and visit I may automatically upend my beer on your floor when its finished to make sure it's empty. Crumbs may get brushed off on to the floor and food scraps tossed over the shoulder. If you see Lawrie piling up bits of wood in the middle of your lounge room...hide the matches and if you have wooden furniture watch out for the chainsaw! We may not have showered for a couple of days so don't leave the garden hose out we may strip off and have a shower in your garden on the plus side our pockets will be bulging with toilet rolls so no need to supply that :-)
Tonight we are camped near Emerald at High Ground home stay......not free, a whole $5 per night. No facilities but we have a lovely private spot near the creek. Camp oven pork...mmmmmm.
