Leaving Thallon on Saturday 10th July. Wendy left yesterday for St George, she will have a coffee with Griff and her traveling friend Martina and possibly stay the night in St George.
I'm not sure what Christine is doing, possibly going to Mungindi and waiting for her friend Sue Mallow.
I'll probably bypass St George as I've been there before.
We meet up again at Surat
When I arrived, a departing camper pointed me to the spot she left and said, its a great spot and there is a few logs left there for a fire.
I went the the loo and while away from my spot this guy loads the 3 logs onto his caravan, on seeing him, I say "excuse me but those logs were given to me" he ignores me 3 times so I go get my phone and pretend to video him leaving. He stops and says "I didn't here you" and proceeds to undo the logs and throw them to the side of his van. Look how many logs he has under my 3 that he stole.
We walk into town and back along the river.
An old movie theatre.
Griff has slippery hair and plenty of it! so I mad her a Giggle beanie that covers her ears and can be tied under her neck, no cone head now....
This is Wendy's dads bbq rack, he is such a clever man. This one is held up by a spike that is pushed into the ground, cooked the snags perfectly.
Griff spoils us with scones, jam and Chantilly cream.
I look so grumpy, but I'm not....just my normal focus face.
Wendy is the artist among us,
The locals
I loved the art work on the walls of the museum. Taking note on how he painted the leaves.
We moved on to the Roma Gun Club and stayed 3 nights
The moon and Venus together,
Morning from my bed. Another sunrise, this ones Saturday morning 17th July.
What a surprise at Injune showground, Robyn and Sean Brennan from Lemon Tree Passage, Old dear friends from our St John Ambulance days of 20 years ago.
They still look loved up!
Love my crumbed lamb cutlet's
We have landed into a mouse plague, we've come this far without mice but now Wendy caught one and Griff, I mean Angus caught one also.
Martina's dog Narla with another of Griff's catches
A Puffing Billy
3 live mice in a bucket
At last, we are on our way to Carnarvon Gorge, Monday 19 July
From Right to left, Christine , Sue Mallo, Sally Toms, Wendy Healy, me and Wendy Gower. Most of these girls are fit and ready for the long hike thru the gorge not wanting to miss a thing.
It's 20 plus days since I had my Covid shot, this horrible feeling of tiredness. I'm in VF most of the time, breathless on movement, very fatigued and have headaches. I can't join the girls for exploring around the campground, I just can't do it!
The next day I tried walking around the camp area, I had to stop and sit to get my breath every few meters and sit myself down to get catch my breath.
Sandstone Park, this is where Joanne, Griff and Martina stayed, it's on top of the plateau with spectacular 360deg outlook. There were quite a few mice here too. I have to say the sky's would have been awesome.
Feeling so sick, I stayed away from everybody, I wasn't sure what was wrong with me.
I did drive up to Sandstone and visit the girls there.
On the third day I tried walking the track to the Gorge. All the girls had left for the hike already, I managed to see the information centre and just a little bit of the track before giving up and returning to my car. I left that day feeling so despondent.
