Day 56 - Rockhampton to Calliope- 105km
I tested out my new solar panel. It's a hot debate if they are any good for bike touring but I've gotta say I was blown away how quickly it charged my phone. The sun was beaming all day however and I guess the Australian sun is perfect for solar. I'll be happy until there is clouds I suspect.
I pulled into camp, either side of the Calliope River was a free camp and it was jam packed, a huge space, there were caravans and campers spread over the green lawns overlooking the flowing water. A really beautiful spot, no wonder every man and his dog is here.
Brisbane has appeared on the road signs just over 500km away, I've never visited Brisbane but have always wanted to, I haven't met many people from Brisbane, I take it as a good sign that no one leaves.
