Goondiwindi to Chinchilla

Felt like it rained all last night but slept like a log.   9.30 am takeoff today - first stop fuel & coffee & on our way.    The Leichart Highway was dreadful.  Lots of flood damage, pot holes & very bumpy.  Took nearly an hour to drink our coffee 🤦‍♀️    Stopped at Chinaman’s Lagoon, Myles,  for lunch in a nice park.   Too cold to sit outside so sat in our vans!

Lunch finished we headed for Chinchilla & headed to Foodworks to get some fresh fruit & a few essential items but walked out (nothing looked fresh) & decided we could work with what we had in the van 🤦‍♀️

They are known for their big watermelon - will try & good a good photo tomorrow.

Had a look at Chincilla Weir camp ground - looked beautiful place to stay but all powered sites taken & it is quite cold here 🥶 

We decided to book into Charlie’s Creek Campground which looked a little bit like deliverance country but as we entered completely changed our minds - beautiful grassy sites on the creek & power for heaters & electric blankets - Jude & I were very happy.

As it was cold set up our camp fire early to enjoy our coffee (they delivered a bag of wood for $15) which we were very happy about 🔥

The camp kitchen was interesting & think there was going to be smoked beef cooked for dinner the next night but unfortunately we are moving on!

Decided to eat at the RSL Club tonight & a community bus picked us up from the camp kitchen & returned us to camp later.   The meal was great & we were dropped back to camp right at our vans!    

Coffee, blog & bed to read ready for our next adventure tomorrow!
