Sounds to me Highwayman is up on the higher levels near the toilets, Rover is in the medium level which is the sloping bank below the toilets and then there is the water front which is a bit flatter.

Tried to edit my post listing the Grey Nomads to add Billeeeee & Jules but it wouldn't let me. It could be a time thing.

Missed you H.W.

Left on monday 17th. Kept a lookout for you on most days but no show.

Very hot when we were there and the crays have gone off quite a bit. Water down a bit too.

Spoke to "Yeoeleven" and "Old Boar" on the water front. We were back at "Queenslander Avenue" where we usually go.

Enjoy the Dam.

Have fun Haji-Baba

 Hi Steve, will be good to catch up and see your bus. As far as Telstra goes phone is available in certain high areas but the internet is only available without antenna up at the dam entrance where I walked several days before Rod arrived. Now with his extended antenna I can get intermittent reception at Wuruma Heights.

Now Rod had ordered a huge antenna and expects to get internet much easier so if you have a suitable patch lead you can also get Telstra internet.

Billeee and Jules are camped next to me on the dam edge if you take the first road down you will easily find us and hopefully there will be a suitable site near by. There will always be sites at Wuruma heights and on the mountain with Roy but the choice real estate on the dam is in great demand.

John

Should be there Wednesday. Cancelled an order I was waiting on as hadn't been sent yet. Whoever goes to the top of the hill and reads this first, could you please pass on to Jules and Billeeee. See you soon.

Thanks John I have an Internet antennae so hopefully can receive a signal.  Am currently at Bowenville for a couple of days before continuing.

There is an issue with the coaster that I need to get looked at by a mechanic in Kingaroy. I think my crutch is slipping (sorry meant clutch) periodically. 

A new clutch was fitted only a few thousand kms ago so I think that an adjustment may fix.  I will need to wait until Monday to see the mechanic , thereafter if all goes 

well I should be at Wuruma by latest Friday
