Journey's End (for now)

Tomorrow it's back to civilisation (?!?) after eight days traveling about behind the Sunshine Coast.  I went to Borumba Dam where I thought you could camp on the waters edge, but the campground 1km from waters edge (BUMMER!).  I'd purchased a fishing license hoping to use it there but the dam access was limited - great if you have a boat as the ramp is excellent, other than that it is steep & scrubby along the banks.  The campground manager is a metallurgist (retired) and has worked around the north of Australia, with high praise for the Kimberley's but loves the northern remote areas generally.  He and his wife run  the camp, and an excellent job they do.

From there I went to the southern end of Wivenhoe dam for two nights, camped near the waters edge.  It is a very popular campground, on the waters edge but the fishing wasn't great at this time.  Lots of campers with canoes and they go out after fish and redclaw, a feral yabbie type that is quite good eating, I've been told.  So, a yabbie trap is on my list.  And now as the sun has set, I shall get my fire going again and enjoy my last evening in camp.
