The starting point

The starting point

19/7/22 Moura , Rolleston , Dawson Hwy

 

    Leaving Theodore , we head to Moura , past  cotton fields - they are starting to harvest the cotton now .


   Some more Bottle trees .


    The water tank in Moura has a mural on it - cotton & galah .


   Stopping out of town at the Dawson River boat ramp & free camp . River Redgums were getting a good soak . 


    It seemed like an ideal time for an aerial view of the river , and whatever else was there - there was plenty - a huge dam full of water to irrigate the cotton fields of course !!


    Onwards through Rolleston & Springsure . We filled up with fuel at an old fuel depot off the main road , and had a chat with the 84 year old owner ? He told us how old he was twice - 84 in September , and showed us a card trick , and the same joke twice - we laughed just as much as the first time and went on our way . There's a little spot called Gindie before you get to Emerald , and we found a good spot to camp off the side of the road . Time for some aerial shots again . Lots of crops being grown , probably some wheat and who knows what else .


   Rather large fields .


    There's canals or drains running through the fields , and the water body the top of photo is Lake Maraboon .


  That's it for another day , got to say how bad these roads are - you nearly need a kidney belt to keep all your vital organs in one place .
