Dululu RA and Dualinga RA - 14th & 15th February

Sunday morning we broke camp at Mount Perry and made tracks for a town that had a PO that stayed open for the day. We reached a mid-way point Sunday afternoon at Dululu. Dululu is situated on a major cross-road. We came in from Biloela to the south, the left goes to Banana, the right goes to Mount Morgan and then onto Rockhampton and the straight ahead goes north to the Capricorn Highway and then onto Blackwater. There is not much of note in Dululu, only business open is the Pub. The RA is overgrown with grass and weeds and is alive with bugs and ants. Some of these ants stowed away in the car, having gained entry on the 12v lead from the van into the car for the Engel fridge. No photos from here, not much to record - seems like a dying community! Next morning we headed 30 km east to Mount Morgan. Here we transacted our business at the PO and filled a prescription at the pharmacy. Jude found an Op-shop, the ladies looked after Lizzie while Jude shopped. We had lunch and a walk around town then hit the highway back to the west. We reached Dualinga, on the Capricorn Highway, and stayed in the RA there. The RA here is vast and with free hot showers. There were several over-night campers and we traded travel notes with them. The upset was a truckie that was having a stop-over and had his generator running all night to power his air-con. It wasn't really necessary!! Didn't buy fuel here as it was 20c/l over priced. We went onto Blackwater and refuelled there. We continued onto Emerald then turned off north to Clermont and then out to Theresa Creek Dam. I do not have any photos from our travels here. Our next report from Theresa Creek Dam will have some photos of grey skies, puddles and water galore!
