07: Rest day at The Lake

4 April 2024

Today we’re camped up at a wonderful place, The Lake just outside Quilpie. It was recommended by Bruce and Maureen in Charleville and they were spot on. We arrived late yesterday (Wednesday) hoping to get ahead of the rain coming through, and fortunately did. Wonderful hosts and such a beautiful spot. It’s 2,200 acres which used to be a sheep station, but now is used to breed goats for meat export.

We met some lovely people travelling up from Victoria to visit their daughter and had a great chat with them.

Then we met Bob the emu who at first was a real novelty, but then became a nuisance as he wanted to follow me around like a dog and help with cooking. Bad Bob.

And what a beautiful sunset over the lake we had yesterday afternoon.

It’s been great just catching up on things on our rest day. We’ll need to book in more of these as we keep heading West.
