Homehill

We had a nice easy drive down from Ingham to Homehill this morning.  Weather was just nice with a bit of cloud cover so it isn't too warm.  We are free-camping here tonight.  Homehill has fabulous free facilities provided for travellers and vanners.  There are toilets and showers, a big kitchen area with bbq's, all under cover and fully maintained.  They encourage people to stop here as it brings money into the town, everyone spends something when they stop.  It might be fuel, groceries, drinks or a meal at the pub.  It all helps the town. By tonight there will be dozens of vans, mobile homes and campers pulled up along the road.

We are on our way to Mackay, for the funeral of an old friend who passed away last Friday night.  It will be sad, but still nice to catch up with the family who we haven't seen for a lot of years.
