We did have a great time exploring Maryborough and the Fraser Coast. Still, all good things come to an end and we left Maryborough for Barambah Bush Caravan Park near Murgon.
Winter and the temperature at Murgon was from 0 to 5 degrees at night. Except for one day though we had day time sun and we were able to enjoy both the relaxation afforded by the Caravan Park and day trips to Murgon, Wondai, Kingaroy and Nanango. All of these are interesting little towns on there own. While there, we also visited the Boondooma Homestead historical home. This historical homestead gave us a glimpse into the way people lived and worked in earlier times.
For us though, the best part of the week we had at Barambah was Barambah Bush Caravan Park itself. The owner (Rick) was very welcoming and helped us from the time we arrived until the day we left. On Barambah, there are lots of animals and the wild birds are fed everyday from 4 pm until 4:30 pm. This just gave us a glimpse of Lorikeets, Peacocks, King Parrots, Kookaburas and kangaroos at close proximity. We also had the opportunity to take advantage of the nine hole golf course while we were there. Last but not least, were the community fires each night at 5 pm when many of the guests got together over the fire to have a chat and pass stories around. Rick was always present providing nibblies and keeping everyone involved.
Once again I have a few photos to share below:
