With a bit of sadness, we left Phill and Jen’s (oh, and Chelsea’s)at Cape Burney at about 8am on this morning. We knew it’d be a long trip to Quobba Station, so we took our time on the road. It’s been a fairly ordinary kind of day, but not raining so that was a plus. We stopped a couple of times during the day, including the Overlander Roadhouse for lunch (PS. the toilets there are very ordinary, just in case you’re travelling up that way, take your own TP, and keep your fingers crossed that at least one of the toilets is working!). We ended up getting to Quobba at around 4:30, since I made Matt stop on the way about 5k’s shy of the station so I could try and take a photo of the whale we had just seen jumping out of the water. The result is on the photos page, you’ll just have to take my word for it that it actually was a whale! : /
Quobba Station is a big (and I mean BIG, like over 50k’s of shoreline on the one property) sheep station, that seems like it’s still working ie. grazing and shearing sheep. There’s a sheep in the homestead area that hangs out with one of the cattle dogs, and I swear it thinks it’s a dog. So funny, and it even has a tail, first time I’ve ever seen a sheep with it’s tail intact! We got set up here ok, a bit windy but nothing too bad. We have set the annexe up for the first time, so let’s hope it’s as good here as it was on the front lawn the first time we set it up! This seems like a pretty cool place, not too many people, and you can hear the waves crashing against the shoreline rocks, about 100m away!
We haven’t been able to find our friends we’re supposed to be meeting (where are you Craig and Dale!?), so hopefully we’ll catch up with them tomorrow. There’s some blowholes (yes, that’s right Kiama I said blowholeS, guess you need to get a couple more to catch up, hey?), and Red Bluff that we’ll be checking out over the next couple of days, so we won’t be bored that’s for sure!
