Ravenwood - Burdekin dam - Ayr

 A few more days have slipped by and we are once again free camping on the coast road, about to head back inland tomorrow to Collinsville.

We were extremely impressed with the Burdekin dam, which was far more interesting than expected.

I have done another drone video of the dam and will put the link in this post.

Lots more pictographs of birds and plants. I am becoming quite interested in pics of birds

Me flying the drone at Burdekin dam (BD)

The video from that drone flight



Kayaking at BD.. Found out later there were salties & freshies in here. I paddled all the way around the island in the distance but only saw 1 freshy.

Me at the giant pumpkin south of Ayr.


The dam spillway from up river.



A fish eye view of the dam wall.


Water flow release below the spillway. The little figure on the horizon is me. I took this with the drone.

A driving video I did.

RW. If you look closely you will see the big spider on the left arm of the cut out.
It certainly made Sue jump.

Travelling back up from the spillway we all jammed in my ute.

Home again - Final post

 A fairly uneventful few days getting home and then the sad feeling of not being on the road any more. A few pics of some places on the last...
