Day 60 Yeppoon to Rolleston

 So we headed west today on our journey to Carnarvon Gorge National Park, left Yeppoon and travelled south through Mt Morgan and Moura. It was a steep climb over the range and then out onto the cattle country. They have a memorial set up at Moura honouring those miners who have lost their lives.

We ended up stopping in a little place called Rolleston which is about 100km from the Gorge. Well, what a fantastic little place - the caravan park was small but spotless and like so many of those small towns very cheap. After setting up, we went for a walk through the local park where there was a heap of information about the history of the area. this was presented in an olde cottage that had been moved from off a station and dated back to the 1800's. We ended up dropping into the local for a drink and met up with a few people who were also at the van park. Nora and Peter were real estate agents from Townsville who had well and truly embraced the van life. They started with a tent at the Birdsville Bash and have progressed through to RAM and a Bushmaster van. Great to chat with and compare notes about your adventures.

A nice quiet spot to spend the night.
