We headed to Goomburra first to do some hiking in the Main Range National Park. We passed plenty of green countryside and healthy horses and cattle along the way.
This week we headed for the Darling Downs through Cunningham's Gap in search of sunflowers. The Sunflower Route on the Southern Downs has become popular with sightseers over the years, but the route changes depending on where and when the fields are planted. It is best to check with Visitor Informations Centres for current maps. We headed to Goomburra first to do some hiking in the Main Range National Park. We passed plenty of green countryside and healthy horses and cattle along the way. Nearing the National Park we came across Gumtree Gully, a property strewn with creative junk sculptures with clever captions. Along Forestry Reserve Road we passed numerous camping areas until we arrived at the end of the road at Manna Gum Camping Area. Frome here we hiked the Dalrymple Circuit. The Dalrymple Circuit passes through peaceful bushland with bridges and platforms over the cascades and pools of the Dalrymple Creek, which is one of the headwaters of the Condamine River that flows into the Darling and Murray Rivers. We had planned to head further into the national park for more hiking and sightseeing, but the river crossing called for a 4 wheel drive vehicle, so we headed off for sunflower sightseeing instead, with a spot of lunch and a cold beer at Rudds Pub in Nobby.
