Yallakool near Murgon Qld

Darryl and I had a great weekend away with our Caravanning friends.  We went to Bjelke-Petersen Dam near Murgon and stayed at the Yallakool camp area.  Right on the banks of the dam. 

  Sunset over the Dam on Friday night.

  Buster’s first trip away!

There are to be 26 vans and about 6 guests vehicles here as well.  Our friends from Inverell are coming also.

The weather was VERY hot and humid.  Those with boats really enjoyed getting out on the water.  A couple of fish were caught, some yabbies and 1 red-claw.  Saturday night we had a storm which lasted about an hour.

 Playing Klop at Happy Hour – this game can take ages to work through and gives lots of enjoyment to all.

 Our setup and our ‘watch-dog’

We had rain again on Sunday night.  Not as heavy as Saturday night but nice to listen to as we went to bed J

 The dam on Monday morning.

Whilst camping we tried the CPAP machine with just the inverted 12V power as we had been having problems with it cutting in and out when we were free camping. We had it at the 12V specialists and it did not miss a beat the whole day – no matter what we connected to the inverted powerpoint. Unfortunately it did the same thing this time.  Within a couple of minutes of Darryl putting the CPAP on – it started cutting out.  We got it on video in the afternoon when he went to try it and again that night.

On our way home from Murgon we called into Caloundra and left the inverter with them so they could send it off to be inspected and – hopefully – repaired.  We just have to wait for them to tell us it is back – and that had better be before we head off on the trip.
