Monday 8th July
Weather is sunny and a cool 19 degrees. It took about 2 hours to drive from Biloela to Cania Gorge climbing up and down hills. We were travelling across the tops of the ranges part of the way and there were great views into valleys. Some steep decents into the Gorge as we are surrounded by lots of hills and towering rocks. Looks beautiful. Quite a nice caravan park but with all this land they have put the caravans close to on another, meaning that if you have a noisy family, (which we do), you can hear everything they say and do. Sound travels here very easily and they do ask people to respect their neighbours. We have TV via the Park's Foxtel so we don't really need to get out the Satellite system. Only five channels though and because it is Fox, it's not possible to record any of the shows, so looks like we will have to watch 'live' TV and put up with the adverts. Phone calls are OK here but the internet is average. Only 3G but poor quality, so there will be no uploading of photos until we are back in a town with some decent reception. Clive should be able to hopefully still upload the Blog. The park is advertised as having a dump point, BUT they have to see what chemicals you are using before they will allow you access to it. The ones we are currently using are from Aldi and this is not allowed. You have to use the Thetford brand, which they do sell in the shop, but as we already have some Aldi product in our unit this has to be emptied and cleaned first and then the Thetford product used. We're lucky as we have 2 cannisters, so if one gets full we can take it into Monto and use the free dump point at the show grounds. Pity that this information is not available before.
