Showers of rain again when we woke up. We stopped in Winton for an iced coffee break and found some cool dinosaur artwork. We got to Hughenden mid afternoon, and camped in the showgrounds, which is the overflow for the local caravan parks. There was plenty of space, and we chose a spot near the horse arena, which was basically a giant undercover sandpit for the children of families camped there. We set up the tents so they could dry, then had our first shower in 6 days. It was fantastic. We broke out the shorts and tshirts, although in the evening it was cool enough to put jumpers on again.
The super helpful lady at the information centre told us that central QLD is very busy with caravans and campers at the moment due to the COVID outbreaks. People's school holiday plans have been derailed due to the lockdowns in Darwin and Alice Springs, and the outbreaks in the SE coast of QLD, so they are basically circulating in central QLD until things resolve a bit.
We plan to have a rest day here tomorrow to reset a bit.
