Thursday 27 July 

My merry goose chase took us to Lake Victoria this morning. The woman at the pub last night  said it was lovely.....beauty in the eyes of the beholder etc......as we were not impressed by the cracks deep enough to swallow us in the black soil, and "Merril's had enough of dirt" we moved on, and on, through Biloela and Monto, then down through Mount Perry to the emerald green shores of Mingo Crossing.....what a sight for dust weary eyes! And there, about five steps from the waters edge we set up for the last five nights of our trip ( except for a final night on Lindsay's and Ave's footpath in Maryborough).
