Once set up at the camp ground, we headed up to the National Park Information centre, to get the info on the walks to be done in and around the gorge. In the evenings, the campground is a buzz with the noise of happy travellers. We joined up with another Carol and her husband Neville for happy hour. We had arrived together, and in fact had shared the same roadside lunch stop along the way. They are recently retired dairy farmers from near Swan Hill, and are on their way to visit a daughter at Proserpine. It was as if we'd known each other all our lives as we shared stories over drinks.

We hit the Gregory Hwy again and head for Rolleston, then Emerald, having had one of our most enjoyable and memorable weeks, since the journey began.
