We just spent three great days at Fletcher Creek 40 kms north of Charters Towers. It felt like we were in the middle of nowhere but there were several other campers within coo-ee. Eric tried some fishing - somewhat successfully. The spotted bream lived to swim away and Eric and Tilly were very pleased with themselves.
We saw lots of different birds but the highlight was the Wedgetailed Eagle. Majestic and just a little bit menacing.....
The campsite was primitive - no power, no water, no formalities and, best of all, no fees. It is a 'free camp' and this was our first exposure to this kind of camping. Our battery and water tanks managed very well and we are hooked on this type of campsite.
Eric - our very own Hunter/gatherer. Can't see that fish filling your bellies though. Great to read the blog and keep up with your travels - and a wonderful contrast to the NYNY blog! Keith and I just took Dick for a walk through the Warriewood Wetlands. Magnificent. Saw half a dozen different birds, one red belly black snack and a apricot poodle - yeah we can hang with the wildlife too.
