Noises in the Night

Our stay at the Barcaldine Tourist Park, though a very pleasant atmosphere, was the noisiest night we've ever spent in a caravan park. We made an error of judgement that the highway going past wouldn't be as busy as the Capricorn Highway however it most certainly is!

Our site for the night was only 30 metres away from what turned out to be the main drag for triple - bogeyed road trains. We could hear them coming about a kilometre off and as they passed through what felt like the middle of our caravan with a rumble, they left behind a vibrating, quivering sensation that took 10 minutes to settle before the next one came raging through. Needless to say, there was not much sleep that night and a couple of tired, cranky Grey Nomads hit the road the next morning.
