Day 3 Leslie Dam 7.09.22

 

2 km morning walk 

After morning tea we took a drive in to Warwick. 
Power Horse Monument. 



We went for a 4km walk along the river and around town. 






You could see the water height in the last flood by where the debris is in the trees.

Lots of mud lying around. 


Under the rail bridge. 
Town Hall. 
Criterion Hotel.
Post office. 
War memorial. 






View back over the racecourse. 
War cemetery. 





Checked out the dam wall.

















An even more beautiful sunset tonight.





Tonight we cooked potatoes in foil on the fire for dinner with lots of salad followed with home made banana icecream. We saw no satellites tonight.

 7km hike this morning.  Had a snooze in the afternoon before heading up to Cania Dam. A bit of a smoke haze around but it made it more interesting.  Pre dinner drinks around the fire with Graham and Gail again before having a steak dinner beside the fire.

Tuesday We farewelled our friends in Kogan this morning and have no real plans for the day other than to visit the lagoon 7kms south of Condamine.  Departed at 8.15am despite our relaxed morning.  On the road to Condamine.  Stopped at the lagoon to have breakfast at 9am. Cold wind blowing so just had a short wander around to check out the area for another time. It's a free camp, with about 8 powered sites and more unpowered in a relaxed, designated area. There's a toilet block, bbqs, shelters, bins, fire pits and swimming in the lagoon.  There's basic camping beside the water but it's a bit overgrown.  Stopped in Miles for a wander. We have been here before.  The above was so wide the wheels were removed. Lots of large vehicles and equipment around in Miles. Headed out of Miles for Wandowan. We enjoyed a 1.5km walk around Wandoan and an icecream then headed off towards Taroom. We have enjoyed being 'free spirited' in our Journey today. 3 out of the 4 places...

We're having a few days away at Bjelke Peterson Dam with Graham, Gail and Quilpie. We have been here numerous times, so not so many photos.  Monday Pool was very refreshing after a hot day but for some reason you can't ride your bike in it. Tuesday  Went for a windy 4.6km walk across the dam wall. Wednesday  Gail and I took Quilpie for a 5km walk across the dam and back. Afternoon visitor. Trying out our Christmas present a little early. Sun setting on another lovely day. Thursday  Gail and I took Quilpie for another 5km walk. We have moved on today to Moore Park Beach.  Sites are a bit more 'sardine-ish' than at the dam but there's not too many here. Went for a 2.2km beach walk before settling in for a relaxing afternoon. Thought I'd go for a wander around the van park and ended up to the shopping precinct for an ice cream. Today I have walked over 12 kms, Mark's walked about 7kms. We should sleep well tonight. As I go to bed my step counter has recorded 20...
