South
of
Bowenville
to
North
of
St.
Ruth
Bruce's
Report:
Dropped
Steve
back
on
the
road
outside
the
Hoopert
farm
where
the
kids
were
catching
the
bus
to
school.
Chatted
with
the
family
and
a
couple
of
other
farmers
as
they
stopped
on
their
way
past.
People
out
here
are
fantastic.
Left
Steve
to
his
wandering
and
drove
back
to
Dalby
where
Kerrie
and
I
had
some
issues
with
downloading
film.
We
are
very
happy
with
the
footage
but
saving
huge
files
is
becoming
a
problem
with
space
on
the
hard
drive.
Picked
Steve
up
15kms
out
of
Dalby
and
returned
to
talk
to
South
Dalby
State
School.
The
Mayor
of
Dalby,
Warwick
Giesle,
visited
Dalby
Tourist
Park
at
Myall
Creek
to
hear
Steve's
presentation
on
Climate
Change.
After
the
presentation
we
enjoyed
sitting
round
the
campfire
listening
to
the
park
proprietor
Dick
Martin
play
his
guitar,
sing
bush
ballads
and
play
the
harp.
Not
a
bad
way
to
spend
a
couple
of
hours.
Thanks
Dick
for
your
generosity
and
support
for
K4E.
Steve's
Report:
We
came
from
Jondaryn
across
to
St.
Ruth
via
Formartin
and
then
up
towards
Dalby.
Too
dangerous
on
the
highway.
Today
was
very
quiet.
Just
25km
on
very
straight
roads,
plus
a
talk
at
the
Dalby State
School.
Tonight
we
did
a
presentation
at
the
Tourist
Park
in
temperatures
well
below
ten
degrees.
After
ours
was
over
the
local
park
owner
did
a
sing
song
around
the
camp
fire
and
commented
that
this
was
the
weather
that
they
normally
would
have
experienced
by
Anzac
Day.
There
was
no
water
at
all
in
Oakey
Creek
so
all
the
water
I
paddled
on
did
not
make
it
down
here.
It
got
sucked
up
or
disappeared
into
the
ground.
Given
the
number
of
farm
dams
here
and
irrigated
cotton,
I
have
a
pretty
fair
idea
where
it
went.
