Saturday 9th August.
The local women of the Lionesses Club put on a Breakfast In The Park here every Saturday morning, so we decided this sounded like a good thing to do to support the local community.
Bacon and egg muffin, juice and tea or coffee for $5 per person was very popular, not only with those staying here at this lovely camp area but also a number of locals.
After this great start to the day we moved on after topping up with fresh water tank and emptying the black water cassette.
First along the Capricorn Highway, followed by a short stint on the Leichardt Highway, then on to the Burnett Highway to Biloela. After a break around lunch time in Biloela it was onto the Dawson Highway and a further 102 km's to Calliope where we were to spend the night at another great camp area located beside the Calliope River. This was another very popular area to camp with a maximum allowed of 48 hours which is the norm. We have spoken to a number of Rangers re this and been advised that you can actually stay a bit longer as long as you are doing the right thing in particular with regards to your rubbish disposal etc. The 48 hour notice is designed so that if needed the authorities have the power to move troublesome people along.
We have been progressively making our way eastward as we have a very special mission to complete on the Coast a little further south.
