Karumba to Home

Arrived in Karumba the weather was great , set up camp at the Karumba Point tourist park, really good park, clean and very friendly and helpful staff. Went for a drive around the point  and then got fish and chips for dinner. Got barramundi and king salmon and the nicest chips and we drove out to the sand dune to have out dinner while watching the sunset 😊
Went to the barramundi centre which was very interesting and we watched Barra feeding. Got fresh cooked prawns at the van park with home made seafood sauce, yum
Left Karumba and headed towards Julia Creek via Bourke and Wills Roadhouse. The weather has turned cold with 5deg at Julia creek and windy then on to Barcaldine where we had a lovely campfire dinner while listening to a guy singing country, great atmosphere. On to Mitchell and it got colder -2deg. Had a fantastic overnight stay at my sisters place before heading home .

Cairns to Normanton

Heading out along the wheelbarrow way towards Chillagoe
, the road was mainly bitumen but had a lot more dirt the closer you got to town. Set up camp in the van park then went to “the Hub” info centre booked a cave tour for tomorrow morning. Then drove out to the smelters had a walk around then went out to the weir, very pretty.

   The cave we toured was the Trezkin cave it was a very pretty cave and the tour guide “Dave “ was very informative on the history, took about an hour to tour through.

  Then it was on yo Mt Surprise and stayed at Bedrock village, what a great park.then on to Croydon then Normanton , managed to see the “gulf lander” train
