After an
early walk in warmer than usual conditions, we had breakfast, packed up and
were on the road by 9am. Not a very exciting day. Stopped for mornos at
Ravenshoe and brewed-up in the van as the weather was quite ordinary - overcast
with a slight drizzle and blowing a gale. After mornos we had a wander up and
down the main street just to move the legs. Ravenshoe has the highest
everything – pub, bakery, etc
Next stop was at Mount Garnet for lunch which we made in the van. Before moving on, we re-fuelled with relatively cheap diesel at $1.469. Lucky, as here at Undara it is $1.98 - the most expensive we have ever seen in Australia (so far!)
We didn't stop again until we checked into Undara. We have a drive-through site with power and water. The water is from the aquifer, and the lady at reception informed us that even though it was potable water, we may not enjoy the taste. Greg tried it and said it was fine.
After setting up Greg had a cuppa and then we went for a walk around the park. It is quite a large camp with various forms of accommodation; rail carriages, weird looking tents, tent camp sites, caravan sites (both powered and non-powered) and then some fairly ordinary looking ATCO hut-type things in the Stockmans Camping area.
