Our next stop was Expedition National Park and the Lonesome Campground, which is 37 klms north of Injune then another 18 klms after turning off the hwy. The road was sealed except for the last 750 meters, we had to negotiate a steep narrow range decent where you had to give a call on the CB that you were decending in case someone was coming up from the other direction. Once we arrived at the Campground it took sometime to work out where we would like to park for the night, as the more area you have the harder it is to make a decision! Finally settled and with a beautiful backdrop of the ridge behind us we relaxed around the campfire and enjoyed the peace and tranquility. Baz and I were glad we were with Al and Dave as we were the only ones in there, it truly was a Lonesome Campground.
The next day it was onto Roma where we booked into the Roma Gun Club who offer camping sites only a couple of klms out of town. It was lovely to have plenty of water, power and access to a washing machine to have a good clean up after camping out in the dry dusty conditions that are prevailing in Queensland’s west.
We travelled to Surat with Al and Dave the next day where we said a sad farewell, they would now head east and back to the coast and we would head further west to Cunnamulla. We had been with them for the last six nights and as always enjoy their ompany immensely, many laughs and we are never lost for something to talk about, looking forward to our next catch up. Only a week now before we need to be in Melbourne to catch the Spirit back to Tassie, time is going much too fast.
