After leaving Standown Park, we headed off towards Monto via Kilkivan, Gayndah and Mundubbera.

We had arranged a quick visit to look over a prospective house-sit just out of Monto, and had decided to go on to Cania Gorge afterwards to camp. However, we were invited to camp for the night on the property at Monto. It was lovely meeting Annette and Richard and having dinner with them, but unfortunately (because it was a lovely opportunity) realised we would have to decline the offer of the house-sit. Because Rick is having further facial surgery (skin cancers) on 16 July, we realised that we could not say definitely that we would be able to start on 30 August. The last time he had surgery in that area, it took 4 attempts and 3 months before the surgeon set him free and we didn’t want to let our prospective clients down at the last minute.
Cania Gorge is just a beautiful place to stay. The last time we went there was in August 2007, and like everywhere else at the time, Cania Gorge and Lake was very, very dry. There are two camping grounds at Cania – Top Tourist and Big4. The Big4 is the closest to the lake, therefore the most expensive. We stayed at the Top Tourist on both occasions, and feel we got the best end of the deal. It’s cheaper, has a roomy feel about it, and is now very green and well looked after.
The first series of photos is August 2007, the second is now. Huge difference.
