Winter Holiday July 2012: BEDFORD WEIR TO DULULU TO BARALDABA

Drove back to Blackwater and continued along the Capricorn Highway.    We stopped at Duaringa Rest Area to fill our water tanks and this turned out to be a nice area with plenty of room, water taps, toilets and shade.   We then continued on to Dululu along the Burnett Highway.   Dululu is a very small town consisting of a pub, tennis courts and a free camp.   We decided to stay here two nights, the free camp is behind the tennis courts and had power and showers for a fee but did have toilets.
From Dululu we went along the Leichhardt Highway to Baraldaba to the Neville Hewitt Weir.
This was a great spot beside the water, it had toilets and a cold shower with drinking water available, plenty of room with grassy shady spots and a boat ramp.   No TV, but had email and phone with the aerial      We met a local at the weir and he told us that during the floods the water was 40 ft deep over where our caravan was parked (scary).   There is also a dump point in town in the showgrounds nearly opposite the caravan park.
Baraldaba is a small town and we were there on Melbourne Cup day, went into the general store to buy some bread and asked if the pub had a tab-No Tab- OK we will go to the newsagent to put on a lotto-Sorry town is too small for lotto.   Well it did save us some money (I think).
