29/8/2010 Sunday Chillagoe -Undara day 25


Well today is Paul's birthday, we still have to move on so up early again and got away at 7:45 we did not have a long run although we want to call into Mt Surprise to have a look.




The drive we took was another dirt road straight down from Chillagoe and what a great drive that was the road was very good lots of animals along the way, more cattle.




Emus running along the road


Now we have arrive in Mt Surprise into the cafe for some refreshments and a look around before we pumped up the tyres as we will be on tar roads from now. Called into the gem shop to have a look and see if there was anything to spend our money on, yes there was but the boys are with us so we reframed.

Now onto Undara Larva tubes for the night, when we arrived there it was still very hot and booked in found our spot set up the camper as the others had to go in a different spot as they were tents.


We did go and visit them had a look around the park found the pool and the dinning area.

The girls hit the little shop to have a look without the boys this time and then went and had a free cuppa of tea while the boys were back at the tent having a quite ale.

The Giggenbachs are back with us so they set up while we went on a sunset and animal tour which left at 5:30pm. We all piled in to the bus for the trip out to the sunset viewing area.

Saw some Wallaroor's which were very chute.

The sunset was going down as we sipped on champagne and nibbles and it was very spectacular with all the cloud around.

Now it was on to see a larva tube with little bats flying around and try and get some photos of them not that easy.
We had tea in the bistro which was very nice that was for Paul's birthday. Well the shackle was given to little Ian tonight for leaving his tickets for the tour behind.
