  • Queensland Meandering May to July 2012
    Queensland Meandering May to July 2012 Lake Boondooma Special points of interest: Inland Queensland Lake Boondooma South and North Burnett regions Car cricket -During some of the longer sections of this trip we played car cricket. The rules are that whoever is “batting” scores 1 point for every vehicle you pass going the opposite direction, four points for every caravan and six points for trucks. When you pass a red car you are out, and someone else has a turn, trying to beat your score. If you pass two red cars in succession, the next person is out for a duck! You can change the rules to suit yourself – for example if we pass a caravan of our own make we score ten points! Of Lakes, Rivers and Dams After our travels from home through the Flinders Ranges, up the Strzelecki Track to Innamincka, then across to the Sunshine Coast at Maroochydore, we had done some long and dusty kilometers. We rested at the Cotton Tree Caravan Park at Maroochydore, did some washing, caught up with friends and family, and did some more relaxing. It was a bit tricky, the relaxing bit, as part of our time there was a long weekend, and this park is a mecca for families in tents with eskies over long weekends…. But it is still a lovely place, regardless. The period of travel in and around Brisbane was badly affected by rain. It rained just about everywhere we went for the whole four weeks we were there. But in between the rain, we saw some magical places in the South and North Burnett regions.
