Easter 2014 Lawn Hill trip - Summary

I left the Gold Coast on Good Friday morning and after 2 and a bit days of driving (2250 kms ) I finally got to Lawn Hill National Park. The walks and kayaking up the gorge were spectacular, as were Wayne and Anne's desserts in the evening. It was pretty hot during the day so early morning was the best time for walking and the afternoon could be spent swimming. I packed up and left on Thursday the 24 th stopping in at the Age of Dinosaurs display just outside of Winton on the way home. It was an interesting place to visit and the tour of the lab area was especially good. I also visited mum and dad at Caloundra on the way and finally got home Sunday (27 th) evening. All up I covered 4822 kms using around 550 litres of diesel (11.6 l/100 km) which ended up costing just under $950. Thanks to Wayne, Anne and the kids, Ben and Meg and Phil and Shane for making this such an enjoyable trip. No thanks to the flies. Below shows the GPS track recorded by my SPOT tracker. 



All up a great trip and I'll certainly go back to Lawn Hill but at a cooler time of year.
