Murgon 8 August 2013

Had a look around Gayndah in the morning. This is predominately an agricultural town, growing oranges, mandarins and avocadoes with water from the Burnet River. It is a lively town, with a lot of money flowing back into the town from the fruit pickers. A lot of back packers work here which gives a boost to the town's economy. Drove through the countryside on a hilly back road past bubbling streams, green pastures and full dams – makes a change from further west. Murgon was dairy country but today is predominately grapes and other crops. There is a large Aboriginal population which also contributes to the economy of the town. Stopped near the showground for a peaceful night.
