Week 5 June 10th – 17th
This week has been a shocker nine days straight of misty rain, humid and then cold weather.
We moved from Ravenshoe to Atherton Caravan Park. We restocked, refuelled and browsed the second hand shops for books to read. We then moved to Lake Tinaroo, “where the Burra are renowned to be that big that it would not fit in the canoe if caught”. “It was that wet that the African Queen never came off the Cruiser”.
The birdlife at the lake were very interactive, they knew when morning and afternoon tea was on and went to every camp for lunch.
We are going “TRPO” in the van and to fill this page report will have to give you some statistics for the month. We have been away 34 days:
Travelled 2286 km
Cheapest Fuel $1.55 – Charters Towers (cheaper than at home)
Dearest Fuel $1.65 – Atherton

18 nights at Bush Camps, 7 nights at Caravan Parks, 9 nights at National Parks
We have consumed 103 Red Claw
Visited 4 Dams/Lakes – Waruma Dam, Thresea Creek Dam, Cania Dam, Lake Tinaroo
We have been to some great mining towns and seen some great old architecture
We’ve been to the highest town in Queensland – Ravenshoe 926m above sea level
