TIARO

Well we only travelled about 60kms today as we stopped at a good little spot right behind the pub at Tiaro (photo), which is only 30kms south of Maryborough around 10.30am and decided to stop here as the camp was practically empty upon our arrival, but as Bruce & Dianne had warned us about these camps becoming full in the early afternoon we decided to stop here - and sure enough they all started rolling in later in the day! About 10 more caravans/motorhomes arrived. We even met a couple from Adelaide and also another couple who have been traveling on the road for the last two years after also selling their home here in QLD. After we visited the infomation centre, had a walk around the town, which is a small pretty town surrounded by hills we sat in the sun most of the day reading, chatting, knitting etc. Peter went for a walk down the road to have a look at a macadamia tree plantation, as they were first discovered in the wild here just down the road. We might stay here and have a meal in the pub tomorrow night as you are allowed to camp here for two nights as it is very quiet here except for all the parrots that arrive at dusk, but they are great to watch anyway. Digital TV is very poor, but mobile phone & internet coverage here is very good.
