Yep it took us near on two days to pack up from Undara. It is amazing how much you collect. Anyway we decided once we got out of Undara, was just to drive up the road so to speak to BEDROCK VILLAGE at Mt. Surprise. This place is a real cutie, with great amenities and fantastic people to boot. The whole theme of course is to do with the Flintstones. Clever marketing!
Well Mt. Surprise is a quaint little town with not much. Of course a pub and a general store a couple of servos, but also a couple of natty museums.....not that I am into museums very much. However as I have spent the last five months talking about volcanoes, lava flows, rock etc., some things have tickled my fancy.
We are spending two nights here, then tomorrow off to O'Briens Creek for another adventure. Here are some photies

Bedrock Village? Gotta visit that! But do the meals at the pub fit the Flintstones theme?? Happy travels!!
G'day Paul & Wendy,
We got your blog address from Barry's Workabout newsletter and as we are hoping to head off on major wanderings in the new year, thought we would follow your blog to pick up some info about places to visit and what work you have found. We are still a bit up in the air as to where we will be headed but all should become clearer soon.
Hope you don't mind us electronically tagging along with your travels.
Take care
Jamie & Trudy
