A couple more big days. One without power/internet so we stayed and moved on early.After leaving Taroom, we headed North along the Leichardt highway to Banana. Turning left along the Dawson highway to Springsure where we camped overnight at the Lions Park about 1.5klms out of town, below Virgin Rock. An amazing place. A massive escarpment not unlike Mt Arapiles near Hamilton, but the image of the virgin Mary can be seen by some,and is illuminated at night.Leaving Springsure by 7.30 this morning we arrived at Emerald nice and early. Time to check e-mails etc at free wi-fi courtesy of Maccas, do some shopping for the next few days there, a great shopping centre on the Clermont road. Head off to the Willows, out along the Capricorn highway to the gem fields where friends are staying.490 k's to Taroom, 400+ to Springsure, about 250 today and thats enough for a few days.Lunch was at a park at Moura, not far from Banana, the photo is of a face shovel some 27 cub.mtrs....
