Goodedulla National Park - 5 Sep

 We packed up and forged on, stopping at King's Dam (our booked campsite), where a large kangaroo buck was nonchalantly drinking on the far side. None of us could believe just how much water he was taking on.

The cattle yards there were built by Al, when working, and are made of Rosewood. 







We had morning tea here before proceeding to Twenty-Mile Hut (another campsite).

At 20 mile Hut there were all the mod cons...beds, tables, and even a book and some supplies.











I was amazed by the white-ants nests with their 'fringes'. 


Down on the creek-bank was the Slab Well, which has now pretty much been filled in.


This is the safety fence around the well

Quite a distance further on was our destination on top of the hill, with the new shed, and shower-room.

We opted for minimal bedding under the cover. We felt like we were in paradise sitting on our own verandah surveying our kingdom. This afforded lovely sunset & moonrise views.
