Stonehenge and Jundah

After dropping Marilyn off at the Longreach airport for her flight back to Brisbane we headed down to Stonehenge expecting damaged roads worse than the Emerald-Alpha Road as these had been underwater for a lot longer, we expected to only go as far as Stonehenge, we had heard it was an interesting place to stay.

We have some good news and bad news for this trip the damage to the roads was nowhere as bad as we expected, in fact, they were surprisingly good much better than other roads we travelled on in this trip, but Stonehenge was not as inviting as expected, the big wet had brought with it the BIG FLY invasion. Flies were very bad for this time of the year, because of the amount of water in April there was plenty of food around for these pests, something that was to stay until we were much further south and into colder weather.

As it was still early, we decided to see what Jundah was like, if it were any more inviting.

In someways it was, but the flies and damage caused by the big wet were still evident when we booked into the van park for the night, we booked a powersite only to find it did not have power the pole still needed to be fixed, we were not charged for power and not asked any questions when we told them.

It is here we first became of an organisation called “BlazeAid” an organisation that recruits volunteers to assist in the cleanup after natural disasters like floods, they were still having new volunteers arriving in the area with still much work to be done.

Jundah like Stonehenge deserve a revisit when they have had time to recover and the flies have gone
