Western Queensland National Parks - 5 May

The Dawson River floods, as can be seen by the flood levels on the toilet block. The river, on this day, was quietly behaving itself in the background. 

We packed up and were ready to leave at 7:15, so spent about half an hour chatting to Ashley and Audrey. 

They clued us up n the Moura mine view, which included a memorial to the miners tragically killed in the disaster. So we went in for a look.

We had been planning to fill up with diesel at Banana and were shocked to find there was none. They were waiting for a truck to deliver, and we weren't prepared to wait, (especially as they had no ETA), so we continued to Biloela. 

This meant we took a different road home to what we had been planning, and that we were able to have morning tea at the lovely stop at Jambin hall. We arrived safely home at midday, which was very unusual timing for us. All in all, a very enjoyable trip.
