21 - 22 October 2016
We’re on the road again, and by
coincidence it is exactly one year ago to the day since we picked up our Cub
camper trailer and camped in it for the first time. This time we set off from
home in Townsville bound for Carnarvon Gorge and beyond. Mick wanted to go into Central Australia but I was worried about the weather being too hot, and as the days wore on before our departure, he realised I was right (for once) so we headed south instead.
We managed to set off early –
just after 8:00 am – and made our first stop for coffee in Charters Towers.
From there it was on the Belyando Crossing for a picnic lunch. We drove through
Clermont and on to Capella. Because of the heat we had been experiencing we
decided to seek out a caravan park with a swimming pool and the one in Capella
fitted the bill. We set up camp and spent a pleasant while in the pool cooling
off from the day’s drive. It was very refreshing, if a little cooler than we
would have liked. We then joined the friendly locals and other visitors for
happy hour.
As luck would have it, we spotted
a garage sale as we were driving out of town on Saturday morning. so I was able to
stock up on books at $1 each – bargain!
