Chinchilla 30.10.20

Early morning walk for me this morning at 5.30am. Not as much water in the weir as when we were here 22 months ago.

Lots of Jacaranda trees in flower.

Spent a few hours exploring the town. Photo op with a big melon can't be passed on.

Botanic gardens were opened last year.

More Jacarandas and Bougainvilles

Cenotaph got a soldier for Anzac day. It replaced an eternal flame sculpture.

Great water park.

Lots of sandstone.

The eternal flame which was at the Anzac memorial has been dumped outside the park. No one that we asked could tell us much about it.

Rotary park.

Interesting toilet block.

The cactoblastis monument 10kms out of town.

We had a Thai lunch in the park before heading back to the weir to rest. The temperature got very warm, allegedly 38°c

After dinner we watched a movie under the stars. The moon is too full for any satellite spotting.

We travelled 28km unhitched.

We delayed our departure for a couple of days due to storms. Not sure how long we will be able to stay out due to more storms but the plan is for 10 days. Took the long way and had a not very nice Devonshire tea in Proston. On the way from Proston to Chinchilla Chinchilla Weir campground We travelled 362kms.

Tara Lagoon 2.11.20

We were up early, had a very leisurely & social breakfast and had packed up and on the road at 8.30. We had a huge 56kms to drive. We stopped in at Kogan town to check out the sculptures. We are staying at the Tara Lagoon for a couple of nights. $10 for 3 nights powered site is amazing. Walked into town for supplies Our dinner view as the sun sets.
