We are on the road by 0745 and on the highway by
0749. Destination: Gordon Country. The day promises to hot, sticky and possibly
stormy. After looking at several
potential campsites on Google Maps, we’ve decided on one area in particular
which we’ll check out first – of which I’ve been calling “The Ems” due to the
Gordon Country map markings. If not The
Ems, there are a few others that we are keen to try out. With google map printout in hand, we are on
our way past Ipswich and down the Cunningham Highway
10.11.12 City View Camping & 4WD Park
We are on the road later than usual this time. My mum came down to stay for a few days and she’s waving us off around 0830. Our destination is just south west of Beaudesert so not all that far really.
The day is overcast and it’s been lightly raining at
home for a day or two. Nothing to get
excited about – 10mm – but it’s better than watering again which I'll probably have to do again anyway. The Brisbane region has had practically no
rain for 3 or 4 months now and it’s really showing. The area is on high fire alert and some
sections have really been coping it hard according to the news … days have been
hazy with smoke of late.
