At last we are starting to head south towards our next housesit. It felt good to get out of the City and hit the road again. We are beginning to hate cities with all the constant noise and chaotic traffic. Give us small country towns any day. Our next stop was at Washpool Camping Reserve about 170kms southwest from Brisbane. It is situated on Lake Lesley, a great spot to camp, with fishing and boating activities going on for the weekend, but not intrusive enough to be annoying. Considering it was yet another long weekend (Labour Day) it was fairly quiet despite the large numbers of campers. We finally found a camp that supplies free (yes FREE) fire wood,so we were able to give the Mungrill ( Choofer) a good work out with several meals being cooked on it. And we only used the bark pieces from the wood pile to keep it going.
The weather for the weekend was great for a change, no rain, fine sunny days and cool nights. We only had to flash the genny up once for about an hour on the first day, because it was overcast and I needed to top up the batteries in case we needed the diesel heater(not that it uses much). So we spent 4 lovely days relaxing (good for my high stress levels). On the second morning the lake had taken on a Pea green colour around the edge because of a Blue/Green Algae attack. It is propagated by the sun apparently. But it looked and smelled very strange.
Next stop Stanthorpe.
