Never again that's all l can say, unless really desperate!!! Our roadhouse stop over was noisy to say the least. Marty and l were woken several times overnight by roadtrains pulling up for their stopovers. They bloody turned around within a meter of the bloody caravan!!! What the?!?! The worst were the cattle roadtrains as all you could hear were the cattle moving about and mooing! Oh well, who needs sleep. Surprisingly the girls slept in, again, what the?!?! Mus...

Well roadside stops may be free but you know why when your woken up be a few road trains flying thru during the night. It rained during the night and the winds picked up on occasion.

Marty and Angie cooked mr an amazing big breaky: sausages, bacon, eggs, onion and tomato on toast....DELICIOUS!!!!! After brea...

Today it was time to get out there and see a bit of Atherton Tablelands so after breaky we all set off, first stop the Curtain Fig Tree. Wow! We arrived and walked down to be greeted by this huge fig tree. It was enormous to say the least. Its story of existence is not so pretty. A fig tree is created by a bird crapping a fig seed on a tree and then it grows and takes over the host tree, it's roots strangle the host tree till it dies! The Curtain Tree is actually...
