Eungella (pronounced ‘young-gla’) National Park

Greetings readers from a hot and sunny Queensland! Hope you are enjoying our snaps and ramblings! You can post a comment if you have a google account , if not don't fret you can still email, FB comment or text!

Driving off the Bruce Highway for the first time in a few days we headed up and west. On the way we stopped off at the Pinnacle Family Hotel for a lovely coffee and got persuaded to have a world famous pie. It was so nice.

Then further west up higher and higher until we arrived at our basic campground, no water and long drop loos and several degrees cooler. Camping right by the river to see the duck billed platypus in the wild.

After seeing a snake or two and several saw shelled turtles………. Yeh! We saw one, we hadn’t realised how small that are. About the size of a mole with a big bill and a tail. Then we saw loads more. Deb was in heaven.

Later we saw a snake (don’t know what sort) hunt, chase, capture and eat a frog, that was exciting too.

Here’s Debs picture of a queenslander house, typical of the area. Built on stilts to let the air flow round and also to protect from flooding.

Off to Yepoon next, Rocky by the see for those you in the know!
