Once again the flies were up early and seemed to be more annoying than the previous evening. So it was a quick coffee and hit the road north. I stopped along the way at the monument to the most powerful explosion in Australian transport history. Back in September of 2014 a truck carrying ammonium nitrate caught fire at Angellala creek south of Charleville destroying the road bridge and metal railway bridge. Fortunately, the blast wasn't fatal but did injure 8 people.
I continued onto Charleville where I refueled Blute and had some brekkie at the bakery.
Then it was eastward bound through Morven and then Mitchell where I was contractually bound to have lunch at the bakery. Then Roma and Miles and I setup camp at the Weir about 5 or 6 Kms south of Chinchilla.
I got there a bit late as all the good spots fronting onto the water had been taken by grey nomads in their migratory caravans. I still had a nice spot at the back under the shade of a few trees however as the sun went down the mozzies came out in force but a spray with some Bushmans seems to be holding them off, at least for awhile. At present my plan is to head across to the beach in the Cooloola National Park and setup camp for 4 or so days and simply relax and chill out.
