Not so for the Camel Camper family down the street who were pulling out at 0800. I wonder where they were going, swags packed upon the camper top, car brimming with gear and people? It’s school holidays, so perhaps they were off to somewhere for a week or two … maybe doing a few nights here and there. Lucky them! Might nick down the street when they get back and find out what they’ve been up to. A great way to meet the neighbours I guess. That’s if they come back!

Another late start at 0930, but we don’t have far to go, so not a worry for us.
11.06.11 Glen Rock via Centenary (Thornton) Park Laidley and home via Atkinson Dam
Queens birthday long weekend and the weather prediction is rain, rain, and more rain. Perfect weekend for camping? Maybe … We are heading to Centenary Park or Thornton Park as it’s right in Thornton. It’s in the middle of nowhere, but still manages to have 2 road frontage.
From Laidley continue south till you reach the Ipswich Rosewood road, and take a right. Continue to follow the signs to Mulgowie, specifically the pub which I believe does a great meal, then Thorton. It’s not hard to find, but comes up on you suddenly none the less. It’s between the Mt Mistake and Little Liverpool ranges, and Castle Mountain very noticable on the drive down. My grandfather used to own Mt Mistake and grazed cattle there. Now it’s a national park. Dad remembers it being very scrubby and only good for horses to access to gather the wild cattle that it ran.
