Cania Gorge

Wed (10/7) and Thurs (11/7) - Much bigger drive today through Maryborough, Childers, Gin Gin, Mount Perry, Monto and on to Cania Gorge. Thanks to Zoltan and Heather & Mick for the tip. This is a lovely spot and a beautiful caravan park. We are at the Tourist Retreat, not the Big 4 - smaller and simpler and closer to all the walks.

We walked through the old Boolboonda rail tunnel near Gin Gin, aka the "bat cave". Mike assured me that the bats would not eat me! This is Mike doing a hanging bat impersonation at the tunnel entrance.

And this is me about to get up close and personal with hundreds (maybe thousands!) of little bats.

We have finally picked up the pace a bit having covered about 250km. We are spending 2 nights here so that we can do some walking.

Cania Gorge is beautiful - we walked for about 3 hours on Thursday morning and then had a lazy afternoon. Lovely campsite with some very interesting people. Here are some photos from our walks.

Ok, so if we ever say we are joining a caravan club - SHOOT US. We encountered a part of a club (about 6 vans) here. Hmmmm, not our favourite people - loud, domestics in the camp kitchen, and then as they left, one couple blocked the entrance "waiting" for the others causing a big long line of vehicles trying to exit the park. They were heading for a club "convention" in Gayndah, thankfully in the opposite direction to us.
