The caravan park we stayed at put on a Pancake breakfast and fire this morning - raising funds for the RFDS which is a common thing out this neck of the woods.
It was a yummy "all you can eat breakfast" and the fire was very welcome on this cold morning
After this enjoyable brekkie feast and chatting with other campers we packed up and went into town for coffee to wait for Cindy and Russ. We did not have long to wait as they had an early start from their overnight campsite at Nindingully Pub and arrived about 10.45am.
After a catch up and coffee with them we did some purchases for a big camp oven dinner - and then headed out to set up at the free campsite called "Fishermans Rest" (only about 5 km west of Mitchell). A localMItchell couple we were chatting with at Lawn Hill had recommended this free camp to us.
What we found out there was a magic bush camping spot on the banks of the Maranoa River - and there was only few other campers there (basically the campsite would only be suitable for about 6-8 campsites)
We selected our spots and set up for the night -
- then we went back into Mitchell to indulge ourselves at the Artesian Spa. We had a lovely soak in the hot (39 degree C) artesian bore water for an hour or so.
It was very relaxing and left us all very "mellow".
Late afternoon was spent back at camp setting up the campfire for cooking the camp oven and for warmth in the evening.
We all enjoyed just hanging out in this beautiful location - watching the birds on the river and the changing scene as the light changed with the oncoming evening.
Our chicken curry cooked in the camp oven was sensational !!!!!!
We spent a lovely night having a few too many red wines and chatting around the campfire and planning our next day to make our way to Carnarvon Gorge.
