ROLLINGSTONE

Leaving our camp at Bluewater on Friday morning we only travelled 25kms north to a camp-site at "Bushy Parker Reserve" which is directly behind an old re-located railway station at Rollingstone (photo). Reading, knitting & walking along the river that runs directly behind the camp area here, is all that we have been doing but might go for a bike ride later today down to Balgal Beach which is only a few kms away. We met a couple from NZ with another Winnebago as well (staying in the local caravan park here - $34\night with a Big4 discount card!)and they immediately understood what "Lucky Pigs" meant and as they are also on their way north we may meet up with them later on. We will probably leave our camp here at Rollingstone Monday morning and keep going until we get to Tully Showgrounds, where BlazeAid have a depot and are helping to repair damage caused by Cyclone Yasi and we will stay and do some volunteer work again for them there. Digital TV, mobile & internet coverage is good here.
