We finally arrived home to snowy Hobart last weekend!! Already we are considering where our Trayon will take us next.
Continuing the adventure:
Enjoyed fair weather at Mission Beach for a couple of days then through to Townsville were we turned inland again to Hughenden and Winton through to Longreach. Wikicamps helped us find overnight campsites at Pentland and the very small town of Corfield. Be sure to visit the community pub there.
The major detour to Longreach was worth it. The trifecta of the Stockmans Hall of Fame, Qantas Founders Museum, and the Kinnon & Co sunset river cruise, did not disappoint.
Again Wikicamps found us our next 2 stays at Bluff (behold the pub) and Bucca road near Bundeburg. And yes we did tour the Bundy distillery and sampled some excellent products.
Avoiding big cities, we passed through Brisbane spending time in Byron Bay and then to where the air is sweet at Nimbin.
Stayed then with relatives in Wodonga and Melbourne before boarding the Spirit for Devonport.
Our single plan for our trip was initially to go to Birdsville for the Big Red Bash. The performance of the mighty Trayon and the 'Rok' boosted our confidence (and adventurous spirit) so that we ended up going from Gulf to Gulf and from far south to far north.
It's been a blast and there is sooo much more to see.
Now thinking possibly Victorian high country March / April. We'll see??
See you on the track.
