Our last night at Theodore was a little exciting. It looked like one of the local farmers had started a bit of a burn off – and it got out of hand! The local CFS and police all attended because the smoke generated caused intermittent blockages to the Leichhardt Highway, and upset a lot of truck drivers into the process. I suspect that the local farmer responsible might have been given quite a bollocking! It was quite definitely an Oh Shit!!!! moment.

Because we were going to Nuga Nuga National Park, we needed to turn off before Rolleston on the Arcadia Valley Road. The turn was well marked and the gravel road pretty reasonable. Once again, the land is a mix of cattle properties and gas wells. Odd but apparently workable.
Nuga Nuga National Park sits on the edge of a wonderful wetland which is currently well stocked with water. The place is obviously looked after, as rangers have cut areas for camping into the lush grasslands.
The location is very quiet – no traffic noise and only a couple of other campers. Just the birds, the wind and us! Beautiful.
