Which way should we go now?

Posted 30th Jan 2013

We've arrive at Mitchell.  Looks like there are floods throughout Queensland but we're not affected as yet. Since my last post on 23rd we have been steadily heading south/southeast. The weather is still very hot, but at least we are finding some campsites with some shade. We were both feeling a little sick and was blaming it on the heat, but we realised that the bore water we have been drinking is causing us trouble so we have started to buy water and are feeling much better now.  The Qantas museum was quite interesting, I liked the part where they drove up to Darwin, in an old Ford through much of the country we traveled on. That's where they got the idea to start Qantas in the fist place. Just in case you've forgotten QANTAS stands for Queensland & Northern Territory Airline Service. (This was a question on Who Want's to be a Millionaire?" So it could be important info lol. We've seen heaps of history, which I won't go into here, but it seems that in 1886 there was heaps happening here in Qld. Shearers were forming  the Labour party & a trade union & going on strike and the black stump was being used to survey old, railway stations were being built and everyone had a goat or two for milk. We're camped at the weir just outside of Mitchell  we stayed last night and will stay tonight again, we need to get some meat frozen in the freezer. (We found some goats last night and some other things) We'll head off thru St George and Morven tomorrow to try and get to Nimbin.
