We did however have some plan in that we had to do via Bundaberg - as Russ wanted to go to the Bundaberg Rum Distillery to get a special liquor they make.
We took the back road from Agnes Water to Bundie - through all the farmlands of this outer Bundie area.
Lots of sugar cane fields, strawberry growing farmland, tomatoes and some other produce of which we were not sure - bit hard to tell speeding by them
Once in Bundie the Distillery wasn't too hard to find and Russ had his liqueur. But being back in civilisation - with traffic lights and all the traffic itself was bloody awful!!
We love this sign in the distillery carpark -
The goods in hand - we headed off to take in a few areas around Bundie - and we found the best morning tea ever at a little bakery/cafe at Burnett Heads and by god we did enjoy and overindulge
In the yummy pies, sausage rolls and pecan slice!!!! We rated the pie as best we have seen/had anywhere!!!
We then took Cindy and Russ to Elliott Heads - a southern beach area of Bundie - at the mouth of the Elliott River.
This is one of our most favourite places that we discovered some years ago in this area - but we have yet to come back and stay at the caravan park located right at the beautiful location. One day!!!
From Elliott Heads we decided to take a back roads short cut across to the Bruce Highway - lots of dirt roads and farmland - that was fun!!
We now had decided on a destination for the night and we headed out through Biggenden for the backwaters of Paradise Dam - to a campground at Mingo Crossing.
Very pretty coming intoBiggenden --
And we drove around a bit here looking for the correct road to take for Mingo Crossing
Once on the correct road we had a quick stop to check out Historic Chowey Rail Bridge - built 1905. It's no longer in use.
We made Mingo Crossing by mid afternoon - what a gem of a find this was. Good work Cindy!!
We were quickly settled and relaxed - with wine in hand late afternoon - looking forward to a night by the campfire.
Russell even had the Weber fired up - it was all happening.
It was a gorgeous day and we got a load of washing done and dried in the beautiful sunshine.
Rest of the day was just relaxing and wood scavenging out along the road.
Then playing cards whilst the camp oven cooked and enjoying the sunset.
We have loved these few nights in the great outdoors travelling with Cindy and Russ again - we say goodbye to them tomorrow and look forward to our planned travels together next year.
Bring it On!!! - Can't Wait!!!
