We've arrived in Chinchilla just in time for the Chinchilla Melon Festival. We've set up camp near the picturesque Chinchilla Weir. The dam is full and there's water flowing over the spillway. The Condamine River has recently been in flood so there's water everywhere and the sandflies are thick on the ground. We can see where the floods have been with flood debris in the trees and picnic sheds and a black silty crust over the ground. The weather is cooler now and it's nice to be able to sit outside during the day and soak up the atmosphere.
Our communications are a bit dodgy here with intermittent WiFi and almost non-existent phone although we are only 10km from a fairly large town.
