Melb - Longreach - Rockhampton - Bundaberg

From personal experience I would give a miss to any eating establishment in Cunnamulla. No I did not get sick, just experienced the lack of any quality in the food at the pubs and 'cafe'.

My recommendation would be to stay at the Ilfracombe CP just
27 kms from Long Reach. It is a family ran CP and they are so friendly and have great Happy Hours. We stayed last year for 5 nights and travelled into Long Reach for any sightseeing

Plenty of yellowbelly at the broadwater bush camp at Muttaburra , must be fully self sufficient though , still no fuel available and no shop in town , bread @ post office - milk @ pub ,, nearest fuel is Aramac 86klm or Longreach 120 klm on the dirt.

Nothing to share other than to say have a great trip. We are heading off in about 4 weeks for a couple of months and heading north. I will keep my eyes open for you.

Elliot Heads CP near Bundy. Patrolled beach, quiet, river for swimming if you don't want surf and good fishing. 15 Min from Bundy.

Mum and Dad just spent 2 weeks there and liked it.

Elliot Heads Holiday Park

We have just come home from doing that exact trip you are about to do. Lake Cargellico the first night, and then straight onto Charleville for the second night. A must if you stay at Charleville is the Evening Star caravan Park. It is 8km's out of Charleville on the Longreach side, turn left onto the Adavale Road. Ph(07) 4654 2430, It is actually a 33,000 acre working cattle station, and the owners are just tremendous people. They opened one of their paddocks and turned it into a caravan park. all the sites are drive through, beautiful grassed areas for every site, with a row of trees dividing each site, and the amenities are so spotless. They are an ensuite idea with toilet shower and hand basin in each room. I don't think I have seen a park so well laid out and the sites cater from tents to camper trailers to mobile homes and buses.they have a huge camp fire pit and logs to sit on, and the work they have put in is tremendous. It is only 18 months or so old, and it is out of town a bit, but so peaceful at night. Owners, Peta and Justin, are always in for a great chat as well. Give them a go if you are up there, you wont be sorry. And by the way, Charleville hospital is great as well. While we were there I fell out of our camper trailer and broke my elbow in 2 places. The hospital was so goo to us, and the doc even rang twice after we left to see how I was coping with the rest of the travelling. You don't get that with city doctors.
