Day 7 - Nobby to Pimpimbungee
What a joy to not need heating, to wake up to glorious sunny warmth, and to don the sorts and tshirts knowing we were going to be warm all day!
Sure enough, the train came through at 2:41am waking us all up. But it was no hardship to roll back over to sleep. And here’s the pub as promised last night:
We filled up with water in Nobby before hitting the road although it wasn’t a big drive today. We still stopped for elevenses in Oakey and then followed the very specific instructions from our campsite host to this gem of a place. We are quite remote, on a 200 acre cattle farm with fabulous views over the Bunya Mountains. So we set up in the first paddock we came to with a few cows and a shetland pony. The owner had even left us a trailer of firewood! Lunch was had in the shade of our awnings because the temperature had climbed to 29C!
After that, Greg and I headed out to catch up with his friends in Blackbutt while Neill and Peter collected some firewood and set up our campfire. It was lovely to see Andy and Mao again and to describe any changes in the country to Greg who is very familiar with the area after living here for so many years. We then stopped in at the supermarket in Blackbutt and definitely needed the satnav to get back to camp given it was dark by then! We were back at camp well before dinner, but in time to sit around the fire. A lovely steak dinner cooked by Rhonda tonight followed by a perfectly cooked by Jude jam rolly polly in the camp oven on the fire. A great day and night and even better, we’re not moving on tomorrow so can enjoy a more relaxing morning, hopefully with a fry up!
