Cape Jaffa

Tilly woke us early because she could hear birds outside. She was scratching at windows and racing around the van. I had to put her in the crate to calm her down. At least we were on the road by 9am for our 337km drive to Cape Jaffa.

Our travelling companions have ideas about what we can see and do in this area, but have decided the camping options at Kingston SE are better than the caravan park at Cape Jaffa. It is basic but we have three sites to ourselves with afternoon shade.

We managed to have eight stops on today's drive. Our first stop was to buy coffee at Mount Pleasant but the cafe was full of motorcycle riders. At Murray Bridge we found a clean dump site then stopped again in the town to finally get coffees. Stop four was to refuel. Stop five was beside a pink lake to take photos. At Meningie we parked outside the Old Cheese Factory restaurant hoping to have lunch, but all tables were reserved. We moved on and spotted our friends' motorhome so parked behind them at Lake Albert for lunch in the Bushtracker. Our final stop was at a roadside rest area where we came across a police officer bemoaning rubbish scattered around the bin. 

The pink lake was on one side of the road and on the other side of the road there was a white salt lake.



Once set up at Cape Jaffa I walked Bluey to the beach where there is a jetty. Lobsters can be purchased here but today's price was $90 per kilo. There are no shops or services here, only a few houses, but they aren't all as decrepit as this one.

Aussie Road Crew - Finished

Image
After our final dinner and concert some Roadies were continuing their celebrations near our Bushtracker. We could hear the noise even though all windows were shut and the van is normally soundproof. As it was after 10pm I ventured out to negotiate with them. While one person accused me of being the fun police, other Roadies supported my suggestion they turn off the amplified music and keep the noise down. The general expectation in caravan parks is noise stops after 10pm. There were non Roadies trying to sleep in tents, and I suggested their activities would reflect badly on Aussie Road Crew and Beccy who might not be able to return to this park on future tours. Fortunately there was very little noise after my visit. We drove out of the Crows Nest Tourist Park just after 7am looking for a MacDonald's in Toowoomba for coffee and brekkie. Instead we spotted Valetta Cafe in time to park the van across the road. I bought a take away brioche egg and bacon roll and coffees. The cafe is i...

Around Chinchilla

Image
The Condamine River is flowing over the Chinchilla Weir 5kms out of town. It has reached the 6m mark on the gauge and is an impressive sight. It is forecast to reach 8m by Tuesday in two days time. Chinchilla has suffered several floods when Charley's Creek rises. This is the post office in the 2010-2011 flood and as it was today. On 28 December 2010 the water level at Chinchilla Weir topped 15m. Despite this history of repeated flooding Chinchilla appears to be a prosperous town with many community facilities such as a water park, 700 seat cultural centre, and major road improvements. Many of the out of town workers are employed by QCG, a Shell company "producing" natural gas in the Surat Basin - presumably this means collecting the gas by fracking. Just down the road there is accommodation for 1,000 workers in Stayover so the town is benefiting from the presence of this large workforce. Tilly finally slept through the night. Today I kept her outside as much as possible ...

Broken Hill to Burra

Image
We left Broken Hill about 8am for our drive to Burra. Our first stop was at Mannahill. We followed this load of sheep as we dawdled through roadworks. On a recommendation from friends we explored Terowie, an historic town that is almost abandoned. The town grew late in the nineteenth century as a transhipment point from broad gauge rail to narrow gauge. In the 1970s the line to Peterborough was converted to broad gauge and Terowie became a near ghost town. Several abandoned shops are now owned by the South Australian Government. Unfortunately there is a risk associated with asbestos being blown around the town. The population fell from about 2000 to 130. In 1942 General Macarthur passed through Terowie on his way to Adelaide and Melbourne. He made a public speech at the railway station famously asserting "I came out of Bataan [in the Phillipines] and I shall return". A plaque marks the location at the rem...
