Chinchilla to Miles and beyond.

I had discovered that Chinchilla had a parkrun that had only been made official four weeks. Told Warren that he wouldnt have tomiss one if he wanted to do it. He checked out the route and knew where it went, gulp,four times over a railway bridge.
Checked out the weather and temps, another gulp, minus 2 at 7am, start time, needless to say, he decided that he could miss it.

Later we saw the pictures that were posted and it seemed everyone was running in track pants, hoodies etc, not sure of what numbers they usually get but there were 74 hardly soles on that morning that Warren choose to stay in bed.

The morning soon warmed up and it was 18 degreesby the time we were packed up and ready to leave at 9am.
There was a little problem shutting the camper up,seemed to have more canvas over one side a d we had to raise the lud and readjust before securing the lid. Solved that at next stop, we removed the awning which we hadnt set up and stored it in one of the cupboards.

Four caches in Chinchilla and we got three of them, the fourth was in the middle of some roadworks. There was a Mary Mackillop cache there and I have done several of these in Sth Aussie as well as Darwin, like usual it was nea a church. The last two we walked between giving us and Lucy a nice morning walk.

On to Miles which was not that far, another nice walk along the creek under the highway and railway. Saw quite a few birds.
 A couple of rosellas on the left and then a parrot further up.
An egret watching the water to get his next feed. He dived just after I took the photo and grabbed something which he took back to the tree.
