Coominglah Range Campsite.

-
lWell this morning a heavy fog around the campsite. Went for a walk to find the spring at Ban Ban Springs. It turned out to be very close to our campsite but long grass and reeds blocking the view. Got some pics this morning of our campsite and the spring. 

 







Now it was time to pack up to see how far we get. Travelling to the town of Gayndah, onto Mundubbera, which we pulled in for lunch. 

The town is built on the side of a hill, caravan parking at the bottom along way to walk in town from where you have to park.

After our lunch break I took a picture of the Mundubbera sign and a painting by a local artist on the back of the sign by Malcolm Brown , beautiful artwork.




Now onto the town of Eidsvold, and out to Wuruma Dam, free camping area out there we thought we would check it out.

This is a very popular fishing spot and the dam is stocked with Australian Bass, Silver Perch, Cod fish and all water craft allowed.




Well it was along way out there you go through the town of Abercorn and out to the dam area. A new sign States camping along the waters edge no longer permitted but camping at the dam wall was allowed. These changes came in March 2019.

So we went to the dam wall to check out the camping area. This is not for us. You must reverse your caravan into Corrales, the next caravan so close you can hear everything, you would not what to break wind without telling your neighbors to close their windows first.
At the entrance a heap of rules to follow, they do provide a water tap at every corral. 

This is nothing like freedom camping so we moved On. This is where you are free to choose not to play by there rules.

Now off we go the next town Mulgildie is place of the bunyip, there is a statue of the bunyip on display. 




Now onto Monto to pickup dinner and then onto our campsite for tonight way up into the mountains called Coominglah Range Campsite for tonight not very crowded and peaceful and quiet. 

Camper trailer now setup, it is time to relax and chill out on the days events. Travelling is great your trip becomes a novel without trying Ha! Ha! 

I awoke to another foggy morning Sat out side and waited for the sun to burn off the moisture. It is now a beautiful sunny day so I went around the campsite to take some pictures for the blog.




This campsite has toilets available and is a free camp stay.

Carcoar Dam.

-
We stayed a few months at Carcoar Dam, many things happen we came down from our Nephew Andrew's Wedding, then got caught up in Covid19 pandemic state borders closing at the same time as Gay-Maree father passed away, couldn't get over the border, then about another 2 weeks later they open the state borders, Gay-Maree mother took sick, Gay-Maree caught a flight to Coolingatta airport 3hours before the state borders closed again for a 3days lockdown of Brisbane and surrounding areas. Know Brisbane a hotspot area there was a worry Gay-Maree might not get back to me without a 14 day quarantine period, but luckily they eased everything for Easter, Gay-Maree got back without issues. Over the time here many high wind events rain events, chilling cold events in summer and autumn. In April nights down to -1.0°C daytime 11°C very cold. So we had a great position of the Carcoar Dam from the door of our camper trailer many morning viewing, and sunset viewing.  Boats on the water most weeken

Nephew's Wedding.

We left Mary Kathleen township and headed down to the border going into NSW at the same time the QLD Government lifted restrictions with NSW. It was a very heated journey as we followed the heatwave into NSW where we saw on the truck outside temps between 46 - 48°C. The plan was to go to Carcoar Dam and setup camp. Gay-Maree would go to the Lithgow train station and take the train to Sydney Central and stay about 4 days while I stayed at camp with Jools our pet Maltese who is our baby and suffers from separation anxiety. Jools would be too disruptive at the wedding.   Jools in daddy's chair, very cheeky isn't he?? Carcoar Dam is a lovely place to camp, not that busy for this time of year. Our Campsite.  Wind turbines on the hill I drove Gay-Maree to the train station and off she went to Sydney. Her Nephew Andrew collected Gay-Maree as he was preparing to marry his lovely wife to be Emma. Gay-Maree stayed 4 days in Sydney meeting Emma's parents and joining in the celebration

Uranium Mine - Mary Kathleen.

Still camping at the old Mary Kathleen Townsite, my friend Graeme wanted to checkout the old Uranium Mine he has already been there before, but he decided to re check the old site out and invited me and jools along. It is only 7klms down the road which is bitumen so far with lots of deep potholes, and gravel road to the entrance. On entry you can see old concrete areas where boom gates for security would have been.  There is lots of concrete kerbing you can see, where old buildings once stood. Driving around there is plenty of evidence of dump areas were big rocks being dump when the mine was operating.  We found huge concrete stands where the rock  crushers would have stood. Early pictures from a billboard  in the township area demonstrates what it is like. The mine and mining  equipment  that was used, in the days of mining operations.  Many tracks and the one that leads to the Uranium Mine. Driving up to the mine site. The water is so blue from copper oxide and maybe it is also a ra
