Day 39 (July 7th, 2015): Back to Augathella for a night!

We left Isisford this morning heading for Tambo for our stopover tonight.

The sign leading out of town indicated a "Caution" for the Blackall - Isisford Rd that we were planning to travel this morning. 

Thanks to good Telstra range and the magic of Internet we were able to get more specific details of the condition of the road - which was rough in patches and what he for potholes.

Well I have to say that this road was better than a lot of other roads we had travelled and part from one short section that was a bit rough it rated pretty highly amongst the roads we have travelled in QLD.

We got to Tambo by lunch time and after checking out the free camp we were headed for "Stubby Bend" we decided to pull up for lunch and then keep on going the extra 116km today to Augathella for the night. This free camp at Tambo was not to our liking and we new that Augathella has a nice free camp in town opposite the pub.

Augathella was a lovely over night stop our first night out of Brisbane at the beginning of this holiday road trip.

There were quite a lot of caravanners/campers here in Augathella opposite the pub for tonight - on our first stop at the beginning of June there were only a few of us - there are many more of the grey nomads on the road come July.

We enjoyed some afternoon sunshine with cup of tea and our books - and then decided since this was our second free stopover here we should go spend a bit of money into the town. The obvious choice was a late afternoon drink on the verandah of the pub in the beautiful late afternoon sun.

They have an interesting display in the park here about "Meat Ants" 

With even a large sculpture of a Meat Ant on a pole in the park.

This was to be the first night that we closed up all the camper and threw on the extra sleeping bag as it was shaping up to be a pretty chilly night for us.
