Wuruma Dam

Wednesday found us at Wuruma Dam after leaving the bumpy gut shaking Burnett Hwy, to travel along a developmental road which was a more even surface.The road would change from double lane to single lane and occasionally we would need to pull over to let an oncoming vehicle pass us, hoping they would stay on the sealed surface but no they all had to go flat chat with one wheel in the gravel even though we had pulled right off. The last kilometer was a good gravel road leading into the campsites that were right down beside the dam. We were lucky that a motor home had left that morning and we were able to get a good foreshore site, with great views of the dam and the entertaining wildlife.

We had a great two days there enjoying the beautiful weather and the appreciating the serenity of the area. It was lovely to lay in bed looking out onto the dam watching the ducks ducking and diving, the pelicans gliding on the water, such majestic birds. Cattle were grazing around the foreshore of the lake and would sometime wonder amoungst the vans.  We were able to put our new fire pot to good use as there was plenty of fire wood to be gathered close by. We learned that our next door neighbours had come in for two nights and were still there a fortnight later. Wuruma Dam is one of those places that once you get there you do not want to leave. We would have loved to stayed longer but had a booking at Burrum Heads so needed to head off this morning. Before we left we gave the neighbours 30litres of water and our remaining bread so they are able to stay on for a few more days.
