Drove the same road as yesterday through Millaa Millaa and then on to Malanda and then Lake Tinaroo. The day-use park at the entrance to Lake Tinaroo looks really well setup. Actually, we have noticed that all the national parks facilities in Queensland are well setup and maintained. A long drive around the lake and over the dam wall with a drive-through each of the other camp sites that we were pretty sure we would not be stopping at but a drive through to check them out just in case! And then finally arrived at Fong-On Bay.
The other sites all have designated camping spots but this one is just open space and really big so you can camp anywhere on the lake that you want. We chose a spot right at the point overlooking the water that is plenty big enough for both vans with a fire area in the centre and then nothing but grass down on to the water.
This is the first camp we have been at where we can have an open fire. Actually, it is also that first place that has been cool enough to WANT a fire! It’s lovely and cool here tonight and the sky is full of stars. A lot of bugs and mozzies though so we have the coils burning and the bug spray on.The boys had a great time this afternoon just doing little unremarkable things but generally having a good time throwing a ball and playing with sticks and riding the trike etc. I threw together a pork and potato and vegie stew and stuck it in a casserole dish in the weber BBQ nice and early and let it cook away slowly.
Then I half cooked some potatoes for bait, and Dad and Tim put the tinnie in and headed out to put in some crab traps for the famous Red-Claws and I seriously have all my fingers crossed that they catch some.This is certainly the nicest campsite we’ve stayed in and I imagine we’ll hang around for most of the week.
