Sunday
– 22nd July.
Carnarvon
Gorge – Dululu
Ran
out of WiFi time at Carnarvon. Was unable to upload any pics. Trying
again now from Dululu using Telstra Broadband, but link is tenuous
and keeps dropping out. Patience will be rewarded in the end.
So
– todays riding. 12 km out on the unsealed section. Easier 1st
thing in the morning rather than last thing after a long days riding.
Or maybe we're just getting better?
Easy
riding until we hit the Dawson Highway at Rolleston. More traffic on
this road which links Emerald and Gladstone. Stopped at Moura for
food supplies for dinner, before leaving the highway at Banana (named
after a famous yellow bullock called Banana) and headed up toward
Mount Morgan.
Reached
Dululu at about 4. Set up camp at a 'free' campsite used by the
ubiquitous grey nomads. Pub for a sundowner and then a quick evening
meal.
Now
trying to upload some pics from yesterday and today, but internet
connection is a bit hit or miss.
Tomorrow
we head towards Rockhampton and the coast via Mount Morgan – a
famous old gold mining town. The road down from Mount Morgan to
Rockhampton is supposed to be fun on a motorcycle! Tomorrow will
tell.
The
general idea is to find a beach-side caravan park / campground where
we can spend at least two nights. Plenty of time to get to Airlie
beach.
