Chinchilla - Amby

We stayed at the Chinchilla-weir (dutch: meer) at a beautiful bush-camp area. Free electricity again, but shocking toilets. The diehards can sit down and watch the spiders crawl all over. Not me !! But the camp area compensates everything. A beautiful lake, rainy weather on friday, but a nice sunny day on saturday. Also nice fellow-campers who joined for a happy hour on saturdayevening.
Our caravanwheel problem is solved by the local tyre-repair service. Mike from "Beaurepairs" in Chinchilla ordered the thingy on fridayafternoon, saturdaymorning it arrived from the Coromal-dealer at the Goldcoast. Thats Service ! Thanks Mike. The wheelproblem being solved, we decided to travel on sundaymorning. From Chinchilla, via Roma to Amby. In Amby we pulled over at the first Outback pub that we passed: The Amby Hotel. They serve a cold beer, and "the bloody best, cheapest, in town, burgers, that is" Camping ist free again, just pay $ 5,- for electricity (aircon in the caravan full speed; 30 degrees outside). Hot showers/bath are included in the service. And they are CLEAN. We will have a nice dinner here tonight, a drink, and we will travel to Charleville tomorrow.
