Into Sunny Queensland - Well Almost Sunny !!

Time to depart Yetman and cross the border into Queensland at Goondiwindi. The showers of the night before were still persisting and indeed we drove through some very heavy downpours and even encountered some sections of partially flooded road on the Bruxner Highway on our way to Goondiwindi. It was still early on a Sunday morning when we arrived in town to find almost nothing open so just a quick top-up of fuel and we continued on. Our aim was to stay at a previously visited campsite at Caliguel Lagoon outside the town of Condamine. Last time we were here we were completely on our own, but this time it was a total contrast, the campsite was pretty full with people fishing but most notably lots of groups water skiing. Of course this was not unexpected being Easter and the middle of the school holidays.

Next morning a journey of just 7 Km saw us in Condamine and being Easter Monday all was very quiet and no shops open. Then on through Miles, where at least we were able to stock up on some essentials and visit the ATM for some much needed cash. From Miles our route took us further north to our next overnight stop at Isla Gorge National Park. Just a basic camp-ground but fantastic views over the rugged gorge and surrounded by plentiful wildlife, especially lots of birds.
