from newcastle to brisbane

 

We could not have asked for better weather conditions when we arrived at Wivenhoe Dam mid afternoon with not a breath of wind & a tropical twenty-eight degrees. The dam is across the Brisbane River & one of the major water supplies for Brisbane, as well as flood mitigation control & hydroelectricity.

What else could we do but set up our chairs & enjoy the beautiful weather & scenery, while watching the sun set across the water. We were lucky enough to see several lungfish with their mouths out of the water taking a breath in the calm conditions.

Next morning we drove to the Atkinsons Dam Scout Camp where Lindsay & Robyn was hosting an Australian CamperTrailers members weekend get together. For the next four days we were treated to magnificent sunrises & sunsets, patterned clouds, many birds & great conversation around the campfire.
