Next stay after Biloela we headed west where there was at a free park (donation) at Duaringa's Mackenzie Park, showers, limited water, toilets and a big area to park the motorhome or caravan in. The town of Duaringa has about 260 people, so to provide such an area to park free in, is just wonderful.
A Ficus tree above and below is some of the area where motorhomes and caravans park for the night, photo taken in the morning when most people have left - we did too but later in the morning.
Free is always good!
ReplyDeleteEspecially if it's lovely.

DeleteBeautiful! I never knew ficus trees grow so large. I have 3 small ones in bonsai pots.
ReplyDeleteBonsai is always beautiful as you can grow the tree to your own liking.
DeleteYes, we have some rather large ficus's growing in many areas of Australia.
Hooray for small town hospitality.
ReplyDeleteIt's it wonderful.
DeleteThe free park probably pays for itself with what visitors spend locally. Perhaps some other towns should do the same.
ReplyDeleteNot that many towns do do it unfortunately, mostly it would bring money into the region if they did.
DeleteOh so nice
ReplyDeleteIt was lovely Jo-Anne and broke that leg of the trip.
DeleteA town with only 260 people?
ReplyDeleteThat shady spreading ficus is beautiful.
Oh yes, not many people they certainly do a good job those that look after the area.
DeleteFeliz Ano Novo! Que traga saúde, sucesso e prosperidade!

Thank you, and the same to you.
DeleteThe ficus trees look noble and energetic. It must be great fun to stay there surrounded by them.
ReplyDeleteThose trees act as shade because even in the winter it was rather warm there.
DeleteLa belleza de las flores hace pensar que es un sitio agradable.
ReplyDeleteTe deseo que entres con buen pie en el comnienzo de año y disfrutes de estas fiestas con la familia.
