It was the last time we don't check a weather forecast when we have the opportunity to. And as it turned out, after an unfortunate series of events, we were lucky to have a camper to sleep in by the days end...
We set off confidently enough from Quilpie, and made good time to Eulo, where we stopped for lunch at some mound springs.
The mound springs wern't exactly what we expected, and the chap at the Eulo Visitors Centre didn't seem eager to explain more (but he did kindly point out where we could find out about the Eulo Queen with a vague wave of his hand towards a collection of newspaper clippings on the wall). Enough time spent here we thought, so we headed south towards Currawinya NP, north of Hungerford.
Our lack of observation of the changing weather began to haunt us as we turned off the black top. The road ahead was red, and a sign ominously said "Boggy When Wet"... A short time later the wipers came on as a few spots hit the windscreen. The Meteorologist of the family went a litte quiet as she confessed that she hadn't checked the weather for a couple off days... Ah, what could possibly go wrong!
