Started off on our new adventure leaving Mackay and staying our first night in Clermont. Nice little mining town - lots of coal mines around this area.
Saw a replica piano in a tree similar to one which was found in a tree (32 feet up) after the 1916 flood in Clermont when Sandy Creek flooded. The original town was destroyed and the town now has been relocated to higher ground. The photo of the tree with the water mark of the flood at a lovely lake were the geese were very friendly especially when they were being fed. There was also a lovely walk with tributes to fallen soldiers from the area.
We had our little butcher bird come to visit us before we left Mackay and hopped up into the van to say goodbye.
