Yeppoon

Our camp at Boynedale Bush Camp was perfect for us with heaps of space, green grass, our fire and clean toilets. And best of all, it was free. 

Our trip there was so pretty, along a narrow winding road over the mountains.  I even had my fix of dirt roads again. 

The camp was at the southern arm of the Awoonga Dam so we weren’t close to water but did find it at the boat ramp. 

I’m afraid I won the duffer award as along the track when I was excited to find ripe blackberries! I had even tasted one to see if they were sweet, when I was told in no uncertain terms, that the berries were indeed poisonous Lantana berries!! Luckily I survived!  Unfortunately no blackberry pie that night. 

The weather hasn’t been that kind to us as we kept getting showers come across so we’d have to scuttle to shelter. Even today, driving from our camp to here at Yeppoon, it rained and was still drizzling when we set up. The view of the ocean - which we can see from our vans, isn’t all that inviting so we’re hoping for some sunshine soon. We’re thinking it’s sunnier and drier at home!

We have 3 nights here at Yeppoon - a place that is far bigger and busier than we imagined. Tour leader Mark has some trips planned so we’re looking forward to that - they’ll be the feature in the next blog. We’re having some technical issues with photos so after lots of fiddling, we hope they turn up this time. 

We trust all is well for everyone and from not so sunny Queensland, we send our love from Brays, Brays and Greenwoods.
