Town 21: The journey south continued today as I make my way home and to a break from travelling over the Christmas period (a few local places will be visited though). After travelling back into New South Wales and an overnight stop at Moree, I continued my journey...
Town 20: Muckadilla is located in a grain producing area and, as it has its own grain store, it shares a similar appearance again to todays other towns. Muckadilla though is a great name – it’s hard to say it without smiling. The population also appear to...
Town 19: After joining the main A2 highway again I carry on until I reach Wallumbilla. Strangely, the three towns visited today all take on a similar appearance. I guess the terrain and cropping in the area creates the similarity. Whilst quite a distance from any...
Town 18: I diverted 33KM from the main highway to reach Condamine. Another small town not dissimilar to Brigalow. To get here I passed through Chinchilla and I am now rather curious to find out more about their Melon festival (to be held again in 2011). Anyway, worthy...
Town 17: After the rain forcing an overnight stay at a newly built motel in Dalby, today I got up early to finish visiting the non-coastal Queensland towns from the ‘I’ve been everywhere’ song. This involved some weaving between different roads to...
Town 16: After visiting Wallaville I had a long drive before I was near to another ‘I’ve been everywhere’ town. Unfortunately this was heading inland but still relatively close to the coast and the scenery is not too interesting and can be summed up...
Town 15: Wallaville is just down the road from Gin GIn, about 15 minutes away. It is however forgotten by most tourists as it appears the main highway is now diverted around this small village.
Town 14: Today I left Rockhampton (or Rocky as the locals call it) for another Queensland location, Gin Gin. Gin Gin is a thriving town, it seemed a hive of activity as people went about their business. Gin Gin is also the holder of the Friendliest Town Award (2003)...
DAY 10. Town 13: After 10 days on the road I’ve started heading back south towards home. However, home is still some 2,300 KM away so it will take a while. Today I left a wet Cairns in the north east of Queensland for Proserpine, just over 600 KM away. It was...
DAY 9. Town 12: Bambaroo is located in North East Queensland, about three hours south of Cairns. There is not much to say about Bambaroo other than it is a Queensland district with only a School at its centre. Bambaroo is the most northerly of the Queensland located...
