We are somewhere between Mount Isa and Camoweal at a rest area besides thehighway. Just out in the bush, in the middle of nowhere. We left Mt. Isa yesterday morning, together with Kim and Terri, a couple we met in Karumba and who are heading in the same direction as we do.
We pulled over for a coffee in the morning and had the same thought: Why move on, its beautiful here. So we set up camp, pulled the gennies (generators) out, chairs and a table, and cracked a beer.
After a rest (cool caravan thanks to the gennie and the aircon), we started to collect firewood, got the bbq and prepared for a beautiful afternoon and evening in the open. Fire lit, because the evenings get cool. We had a lot of fun and drinks. We watched the moon rise over the horizon, heard the skippies hop around somewhere, and had a star-canopy that you can hardly imagine. Glorious.
In the morning we had enhough wood left to start the fire again (it was f.cking cold at 5:00) and we decided to stay one more night. So that is what is going to happen today: another fire and bbq and maybe a beer or two.
Life is great folks !!

Good on you! I want to do what you people are doing - how free and uncomplicated your days must be and to have met up with travelling friends is good thing I would think. Can't beat the outback and the bush Have fun Christine Maher Sunshine Coast Queensland
