End of year trip 2017. Day 7

After some brekky we packed up and left Lake Nuga Nuga heading south. Parts of the dirt road were a bit soft and slippery after the storms but we made it through fine. On the way we drove in for a look at the Beilba section of Expedition National Park. We had a little trouble finding our way as the roads were quite different from the map, mainly because of all the gas extraction being done in the area. We ended up exploring some interesting tracks. 

I had forgotten that I had been into Beilba a few years ago until we got to an abandoned house on the way in. 

We continued on to look at the camp ground which seemed not too bad. As there was a line of storms approaching we decided to get out quickly as some of the tracks were already a bit wet and soggy. 
As it was New Years Day the shops in Injune were all closed so we stopped at the sports ground to make a quick lunch before heading onto Roma where we refuelled the cars and had coffee at Maccas as it was about the only place open. The decision was then made to head out to Mitchell and camp at the Fisherman's Rest camp site by the Maranoa River. Great little spot and the river was the perfect temperature for a swim. We set up camp and had a nice relaxing evening.
