Low Expectations Road Trip - Munduberra Cemetry

Our rule of the trip was one graveyard a day and we manage to stick to our guns on our three day trip. Unfortunately, Sunday was our last day and I had to be back in time for work that night, we still managed a heck of a lot though....a graveyard, an amazing national park and meeting a very memorable local, more on that later, for now...graveyard pics!

Low Expectations Road Trip - Arthur Dagg Walk

Munduberra has a cute park at the bottom of the town just before the river. The Arthur Dagg walk at the park takes you along the river, there are some cute sculptures and a small sensory garden which is all about smelly plants such as lavender :)

Low Expectations Road Trip - Munduberra

Munduberra had the town with the most 'low expectations' attractions, I think mainly due to it being the biggest town on our list. We stopped in before arriving in town at the black stump, unfortunately the driver reviver team had come along with their unattractive banner so I was unable to do my awesome pose :p

That's alright, Munduberra had other things to offer like the sewage tower mural and the big mandarin, found oddly enough at the mandarin caravan park. After getting our snaps we had to work out our accommodation for the night, it was tough decision between five places but we settled on the Billabong Motor Inn, where strangely enough we were turned away, probably not as epically as Joseph and Mary but for a second it surely felt like it. We strolled up so confidently that no one would be staying the night in Munduberra to be told it was the weekend of the big golfing tournament...oh uh!

Deciding not to make more fools of ourselves we would ring ahead at the other places and if worst came to worse we would just drive home :p The next step back, was that our mobiles didn't have coverage, so we had to ring the next accommodation joint literally metres away from their check in counter, thanks Ben, whilst i waited parked in a car also metres away from their reception :p.

Success! And what lovely people, two thumbs up to the three rivers tourist park, who welcomed us with open arms and we didn't even have to bunk with animals! Had possibly the worst dinner of our lives, I won't name names cause the lady who dropped of our goodies was lovely :) dinner was partly my fault after I got nervous at the pub and made Ben run back to our accommodation and order eat in, sorry Ben! Next time I won't get intimated by the country pub folk, who I'm sure we're super nice, I just get nervous sometimes with strangers. Ben even ordered the take away in the rain from the phone booth, ahh he is a good egg and less than two weeks till he is home, can't wait!

Low Expectations Road Trip - To Munduberra

After Gayndah we headed to Munduberra, the road was quite beautiful, driving up a red soil incline and past bottle trees, we had to pull over to take a picture with one!
