A late start today 9.30am hit the road, freezing night but
not for me snuggled in my sleeping bag.
A beautiful morning, sunny and no clouds. Heading to a free camp Barry & I found on
our last trip up here. 25km sth of
Springsure called Staircase Range.
Stopped beside the road and got a load of firewood for tonight. Not one car on this road lovely &
peaceful. Still no clouds in the sky and
keeping my eyes peeled to see if I can spot any Emus. Last trip I saw a Mum with 8 chicks. Great names of properties out here,
Tooloombilla, Womblebank & Walhallow just to name a few. Turned a bend and there on the side of the
road at a Kangaroo roadkill were 4 magnificent Eagles. Stopped to try to get a photo but they flew
off and wouldn’t come back while we were stopped there, and damm the camera
wasn’t ready anyway. It is now on my lap
waiting!!!. Big wildlife day today, 2
camels in the paddock and then over a rise to see an echidna in the middle of
the road. Barry had no time to stop and
it went right under the car, luckily missed all the wheels and came out the
back unscathed. Nice camp for the night with jaffles for dinner and a great fire
going. May stay here again tomorrow,
will decide in the morning when we see
what the day is like.
