How do you pronounce Barcaldine?

By the next morning the rain had ceased which was a good thing as we had a pretty big day (about 400 kms) of towing ahead of us again. After breakfast we were soon packed up and on our way north. The first town we passed was Augathella. We'd heard nice things about their town …

Next featured offshoot from the main trail at Carnarvon Gorge was the Amphitheatre. Lots of variety on the way in. It was like a huge cave with a hole at the top. Best of all no one else was in there whilst we sat and enjoyed the serenity.
Ward’s Canyon - the second diversion from the main trail on our way back along the main trail at Carnarvon Gorge. Steep climb at the start, rare King fern and a wonderful little canyon.
Our first foray off the main track at Carnarvon Gorge was to the Art Gallery where we saw indigenous art made three ways - freehand, by stencilling and engraving, dating back thousands of years.
Heading along the main track at Carnarvon Gorge. Really looking forward to a great day’s hiking.
Nature Walk, another short walk at Carnarvon Gorge.
One of the short walks at Carnarvon Gorge - the Rockpool.

Scenes from the Warrego River trail in Charleville.
Visiting the Bilby Experience in Charleville was really special. We learnt lots about this endangered animal and were fascinated to see the family of three in the artificially created night conditions (as they are nocturnal) moving about quickly and eating. Their quick movement makes them hard to photograph in the red light but hopefully you get the idea. Eating a chocolate Bilby at the end was yummy.
A few more snaps from our time in Charleville.
Charleville‘a Native Tree Walk was a lovely place to take a walk. Lots of flowers in bloom, some unusual trees, a small lake and a quirky big seat to take a rest on.
Roadtrip to Queensland, Day 8. On the way from Cunnamulla to Charleville we stopped in at Wyandra which had quite a bit to offer for such a small town. Mind you tennis facilities are a bit out of date. Did make it to Charleville even if the driver looked like she was asleep at the wheel. Apparently the joke was on me!
Queensland roadtrip, day 7 continued.
Roadtrip to Queensland, Day 7, on the Kidman Way north of Cobar and Bourke. Passed through Enngonia then came to Barringun. You don’t see phone booths much these days! Someone had fun here - Photo 4! Final two shots are also in Barringun.

Roadtrip to Queensland, Day 5 & 6. Photo essay of our time in Cobar.
Day 5 of our roadtrip to Queensland. Lots of lateral water as we leave the citrus groves and vineyards of Griffith. Pass through lots of grain growing communities before driving through Mt Hope. Last photo is our lunch stop. Made it to Cobar mid afternoon.
Queensland roadtrip, day 4 was very wet. Managed to check out Griffith for an hour around lunchtime, otherwise rained all day. Mel is pretty well camouflaged in the first photo.

Speeding to Tokyo

Speeding to Tokyo

Having a good relationship with your travel agent is always important but even more so when you need to make quick decision and have them act on it. So it was the next morning when we Skyped our travel agent early. (Well it was in Japan but business hours were just starting back in  Australia.) […]

Beppu – Kyushu’s Hot Spring Town

By now the corona virus situation was clearly not just confined to a few countries but an issue for every country if they didn’t take action. So we chatted with our son in Tokyo and our travel agent about what to do. Clearly our trip was going to be greatly shortened but we needed our […]

Fukuoka castle and Hakata temples

Staying in an apartment gave us the opportunity to prepare our own breakfast for  the first time in about ten days. After that we walked to the nearby Higashi-hie metro station and took a trip across to Tojinmachi Station. From there it was only a short walk to Ohiro Park. We came into the park from […]

Hello, If you are a new reader I hope you have enjoyed reading about the beginnings of our travels in Taiwan most recently. Or perhaps you have read older posts previously as Karen and I have trained, bussed, driven and walked around Japan, Dubai, Spain, the Galápagos Islands, Colombia, Chilean Patagonia and, of course, Australia […]

Taipei

Taipei

As we drove to Melbourne Airport in my brother’s car we noticed peak hour was just about over. So we arrived in good time to check in just after 7:30pm for our 10:35pm flight direct to Taipei. The flight was about two thirds full and took off a few minutes behind schedule. As late dinner […]

Two Glaciers and a Chilean Ranch

Two Glaciers and a Chilean Ranch

We took an early breakfast and then walked into town to the travel agent’s office. From there we joined a busload of fellow travellers and were bussed out to Puerto Bories. Here we boarded our boat for the day. It wasn’t the most modern but had plenty of tables with seats. We sat down with […]
