Friday 21/09/2012 Day 89: Jericho Community Rest Area to
Boyne River Rest Area.
Last night our neighbours had a
domestic in a foreign language – interesting! It was warm overnight. We had
butcher birds turn up for breakfast this morning. We headed off very early and
had our first stop at Emerald for fuel, we wandered around town till we found
the public toilets hidden near the library, and it’s a pretty town with lots of
plants. We had lunch at Duaringa, which was full of grey nomads. We then drove
around Gladstone looking for fuel and topped up at a Caltex in an industrial
back-street – thanks Google. We passed the smelter and power station and
beautiful blue water. We finally arrived at the Boyne River Rest Area – full of
grey nomads taking up all the good spots. This place is like resting next to a
freeway, traffic passing all night and lots of cars pulling up to use the amenities.
