Day 24 26.8.18 Blackwater

Beautiful rain during the night and quite warm too.
 The botanical gardens looked lovely and fresh after some rain.

After checking all the maps we decided to move on as we had already been to Emerald on a previous trip this year and seen all the sights then.
Stopped at a little town called Comet.









                              Bottle trees.
              The old Comet railway station.
                   Railway workers camp.

        Chatty bird, whose name escapes me.

On to Blackwater.  We stopped at the International Coal Centre but unfortunately it isn't open on weekends.

                     Entrance to BICC
              Machinery on display outside .
Off to the Showgrounds to setup for the night and a cuppa.
             Dusty, quiet and great views.
Jumped on our bikes and headed into town to explore.






A lovely sunset to finish the day.

  2. Very leisurely, may take us a few days to travel the last little bit.
