Our first day of travelling we were heading to Chinchilla for the night.......via Kilcoy, Esk, Jondaryan Wool Shed and then Bunya Mountain, through Goombungee, Akland, and Jandowee......even though we were off the beaten track the roads were good to travel on.......
so after a night at Chinchilla we headed to Roma......
We stopped to top up our supply's as we were camping at Carnarvon Gorge at Takarakka Bush Resort for 3 nights.......In Roma it was 39 degrees and people everywhere......after talking to a lady in town......it was the biggest Race Day on Roma's Calendar....and they expected over 10,000 people the weekend...... The German visitors were amazed at the wide streets, so we went for a walk around town and found a air-conditioned Cafe to have lunch......and then headed north to Injune.....While driving out of town we drove past the racecourse and saw all the guys and girls dress up in their finery.....and the most beautiful horses
On our way to Carnarvon Gorge we could see storm clouds building up...so it was a race to beat the rain....as there is a big section of dirt road and a couple of little creeks we had to drive through......it's ok if you have a 4WD but the Golf could easily get stuck......but we got there and it didn't matter if it rained then.....
What a beautiful place......it was good to go back and explore the gorges again......Jens, Micheal and Sascha walked the big tracks....that took over 6hrs....Martina and I walked 3 of the smaller tracks over a couple of days.....that added up to about 18km .....it was worth every step.....
Thanks for following.....I hope you are enjoying our trip through Qld.....more tomorrow
