Chinchilla to Isla Gorge

Great sleep last night as the camp was very quiet & no road noise.   We left at what appears to be our normal time, 9.30am.   Dean lead the way out up the narrow track - our vans just fitted 🤦‍♀️

We followed Dean & they ended up in a dead end so we ducked right & also ended up in a dead end - after much manoeuvring up & down driveways we were finally able to get out just as a dog chased me back to our car 🤦‍♀️

First stop for a food shop in Myles - need meat & vegetables & other items - we can now buy what we like without having to worry about borders for awhile!     A coffee & on our way to Isla Gorge.   Interesting journey as Tom Tom (our GPS) decided to not work so I had to use my phone & Wiki camps to navigate.  Dean & Jude also kept us on track!

Roads were better than they have been & soon arrived at our next campground.   Not enough room for 2 vans together but we are still fairly close.    Lots of trees & narrow paths to navigate in to our camp   Soon set up camp & sat & had lunch overlooking the beautiful gorge. 

Decided on a walk along a path to the top of the Lookout.  Beautiful views everywhere you looked.   

Back to camp for a coffee & Dean had a surprise melting moment for us to enjoy.   After much deliberating about where our next camp would be we decided to continue the conversation around our fire. 

We used a fire pit which was supplied in the camp near Dean & Judes van & Dean did  a great job of keeping us warm tonight.   The boys also kept us entertained with the guitar & didgeridoo!

Before dinner we interrupted our fire to take a quick look at the sunset.

Dinner was left overs from our Chinese meal.    Jude’s leftover Massaman curry for entree & the rest all heated up in the wok over the open fire.    Was very nice & filling.     Washed down with a few wines & a Bailey’s before heading back to camp for a shower & bed.
