I think we all burrrrrrr up pretty quick when someone or something upsets us or we get ripped off, but I would like to say a good word from a very pleasant experience we had in
Charleville 4 weeks ago.We have just come
home from a trip, from Wagga to
Charleville,
Longreach,
Emerald, Issisford,
Barcaldine,
Dululu, and then over
to the coast, and then unfortunatley back to Wagga.
Lake Cargellico the first night, and then straight onto
Charleville for the second night. I would like to mention a terrific place we stayed in
Charleville, and it was 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.
