Gin Gin Rest Area

Another of our frequent stop-overs. Gin Gin is really close to home and is a great point for the first or last lay-over on our travels. Access to the town is via an easy walk of about 2 km. We arrived here after enduring a vast amount of road works for yet another day and we expect the same again tomorrow after we pull out of here.

Close to where we usually park, down the back away from the Bruce Highway. As usual quite a few campers in here as well.

Calliope Rest Area

Here we are again, camped on the high level side of the Calliope River. Really, we should try the low level side on at least one pass through the area. We had encountered quite a lot of road-works after leaving Rockhampton and appreciated the chance to pull off the road and camp for the night.

We usually find a good position close to the river bank with a great view along both reaches of the river. Lots of action on the other side this time with several families camped there for the school holidays.

Needed some exercise after driving for a couple of hours, went for a walk across the old condemned bridge that was the Old Bruce Highway to the low side of the river.
