We decided to go somewhere closer to home this time. The weather forcast is for showers and Glenn is a bit irritated by that ... being that we have the whole 80% rain guarantee thing to shake off ... and as we set out the day is decidedly gloomy, and the "chance" of rain looks more and more certain.
Roughly 1 hour by road and 80 kilometres from home, River Bend Country Bush Camping is directly opposite James McD Sharp Park (named for the Beaudesert Shire Council chairman from 1936 - 1961 ... quite a stint, so I guess he must have liked the job) on Coomera Creek. This is the closest camp to home so far.

Yes, it's been awhile since we've been out. Four whole weeks!
Due to the flooding in the Great South East (and pretty much everywhere in Qld) it's been hard to get anywhere we like to go. My heart felt heavy when I heard about the "Inland Tsunami" that went through Toowoomba, Murphys Creek (Escape especially ... another good camping spot), Grantham, Gatton ... just to mention the more (now) famous towns. I feel so badly for those caught in that weather event. They never knew it was coming and it's a complete tragedy for those little towns. However, we intend to support them, by visiting Glenn Rock as often as we can and buying our goods in town (Gatton). If you can belive it ... they had 6 metres going over those 16 creek crossings.
