After four nights at Scott’s Head we travelled approximately 250 klms further up the Pacific Hwy to Evans Head. Must say travelling up the Princess Hwy is a walk in the park, being dual lanes we didn’t need to worry about the trucks & other vehicles wanting to pass us. Also since leaving Newcastle we have had real good fuel economy maybe because most of the road surface is concrete.
Leaving the Hwy to head into Evans Head had us passing through Woodburn which had been badly effected by the recent floods, a very sad sight indeed. Many houses were empty with people living in tents & caravans on their properties, with nearby cane fields resembling more like paddy fields with household items that had been washed from the houses in the town spread alongside the road. Also in the township of Evans Head there were rental caravans parked on a vacant block, where people were living as they had been forced to evacuate their homes.
The weather seems to be on the improve as the time we were there we didn’t have any rain, we have been keeping watch of the weather reports on the Gold Coast & it seems like this rain might be finally moving away. Long range weather reports are predicting a very wet winter in QLD this year, at least it won’t be cold.
At Evans Head the bowls club is adjacent to the caravan park so it was a short stroll to get ourselves a nice Chinese meal, nice to not have to think what I am going to cook.
