After listening to the overhead trees drip onto the roof of the caravan all night, we opened the curtains to thick, cold, damp fog – again! Fortunately, after hanging the washing on the clothes line, the fog did lift before 10.00 am and we were treated to beautiful clear, blue skies for the remainder of the day.
This morning we drove the short distance to Cania Dam, with some spectacular views from the lookout over the sandstone cliffs of the gorge, as well as the dam and lake. After leaving the caravan park, we crossed the small creek which runs through the park – the amount of damage caused by the January floods was amazing. It is hard to believe that such a small creek could become such a large torrent.
This afternoon, while finally enjoying some warm sunshine – I even swapped the woollen jumper for a windcheater! – the peace and quiet suddenly disappeared. We discovered yesterday that the Queensland school holidays started yesterday and today the caravans and campers starting arriving in force. To make matters worse, the park are having septic problems – be thankful that I can’t upload smells as well as photos!!! This caravan park has the best children’s water park I have ever seen – apart from three small swimming pools of varying depths, there are two large, shallow pools plus a long, curly waterside. The only downside is that the water is not heated.
Tomorrow we will be in Rockhampton – the tropics at last.
