Undara Lodge Resort to Fletcher Creek Campground.

We had a leisurely departure as we had not decided where we were going to spend the night.

It was about 0930 when we drove out of the most interesting Undara Lodge Resort. The winding, sealed road took us out onto the Gulf Development Road. We encountered quite a number of fellow travellers coming in to the Resort. 

After joining the Development Road, luckily I was doing everything correctly as we saw a rare Highway Patrol car that had a Landcruiser stopped. Soon we made another turn onto the Kennedy Development Road  and tracked basically South towards the tiny Oasis roadhouse near The Lynd Junction. We had our lunch and bought a few items there. Quite a number of travellers stopped there.

Following our lunch break we returned to the actual The Lynd Junction where we took the Gregory Development Road. We drove about 55 kms and we entered the little village of Greenvale. (It is worth reading this link.) I stayed here last year for a few nights with Kevin and Liz, former Apex 40 members from Alstonville. They have moved away, but i was able to show Prue where they used to live. We again bought a drink and an icecream from the little roadhouse.

We moved on again and decided that we would make the effort to get to Fletchers Creek camp ground. It was another 150 kms. So we dawdled on and after a while we arrived at Bluewater Springs Roadhouse. It was time for a "Stop. revive, survive" time. So we stopped and had a drink and walk around as well as a chat to the lady who is a part owner. I think she enjoyed the chat as it is pretty quiet there.

At a reasonable time we arrived at the Fletcher Creek 'free' Campground. There would have to have been in excess of 70 other camper vehicles of all description.  We were lucky enough to camp at exactly the same spot I did last year. The rest of the afternoon was restful especially after driving about 360 kms for the day!
