A very wet moving day

Hello there ,we have internet again !!!!
 We were woken by the sounds of rain dripping off the trees and falling on top of our bedroom slideout - which makes it sound like it's pouring down !! It was still dark so we tossed and turned , finally dropping back off to sleep on the odd occasion , before giving up and getting up . It was still raining , so we fiddled around gradually getting organised for todays relocation . It rained constantly , so we just went for it and got packed up and hitched up , said our goodbyes to Brian & Pam and hit the road .
 The rain continued and as usual when you do something different , you have to stop and fiddle with things . We had the kayak in its cover and put it on the roof racks of the ute - the cover started to flap on the roof , you could nearly dance to the beat !!! Finally after about ten minutes we found a rest stop , and put some extra straps around the cover - problem solved !!!
 Todays drive took us through to Monto , where we had been before and onwards to Biloela . Driving to Monto was easy being fairly flat , going past the turnoff to Cania Gorge , we started to climb and climb and climb some more - about 300 metres , up to 580m above sea level before dropping down again . The scenery changed , starting to get drier & drier - apart from the pouring rain , with more pasture and crops & less trees & forests . The soil up this way is almost black , and is used for cropping and lucerne hay . Bottle trees are starting to be more frequent now .

 Continuing down toward Biloela , you are driving down ridges and there are also many ridges to the left and right , all leading down to the valley that the town is situated in . We had lunch and debated where we would head to - Rockhampton , Yeppoon , Dululu - it was still raining and just on 2pm , so we went down the street and around the corner to the first caravan park we could find . They didn't think that there would be room for us , and took me for a drive around the park to see what I thought , there was a site with an old ensuite that isn't used , and a long concrete slab - that will do us just fine!!
 They weren't sure if we'd get in and around , but it was a fairly easy site to get in - I just drove past , reversed backing through the site , then forward to straighten up - Job Done !! The set up was quick , mainly due to the constant rain . We discovered we have a leak in one of the boxes beside the steps , so that was mopped up and cleaned out - another job to do !!
 Time for an early shower to warm up , then some cheese & biscuits & beer , before attacking todays and the last few days blog !  If you don't hear from us via the blog , it's usually because we don't have internet - we will catch up though !!!

 Just a little note - we are just on the top side of the rain event now starting , so we are quite safe - for those that are concerned about us - thank you !!
