07.12.13 Mount Barney Wilderness Retreat

This time there is a difference to our journey … we aren’t taking the camper.  

Yes, you heard it right. 

No camper trailer. 

Why?  Well, it’s going to be a hard slog for Glenn’s Ute.  The auto overheats at the sight of hill and with the camper on … we know it’s going to hurt something.  And this time it isn't just any hill.  We’ll be 800 metres above sea level on a track that’s 4WD only and steep sections that just go up and up and up.  Poor Ute.

The weather promise is occasional showers, but somehow that’s not an issue for us.  The day is a bit cool and overcast to start with, but in less than ½ hour on the road, the sun peaks out and stays with us.

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.
