Gympie to Childers

Started the day at a roadside rest area 29km North of Gympie where I laid down my sleeping mat, bag and pillow in a concrete enclosure used for giving out free coffees and teas to the motorists on weekends.

Grabbed a hot pie, a packet of chips and a 1 litre Pepsi Max at a supermarket in Tiaro about 25km along.

The next town on the highway was the harvest town of Childers. I call Childers a town of the sneaky host, where the hosts (the farmers, the accommodation providers) are really the parasites upon the workers. It does, however, have a good supermarket with friendly staff.

Camped at Apple Tree Creek rest area just North out of Childers. Not recommended as it is too close the main road and noisy.
