We packed up the van, loaded the kayaks and headed west on Sunday the 10th March 2013. We only had a couple of weeks as I was due to have my cancer operation on the 18th April and I had to be back at least two weeks before the operation so as the doctors could finalise all the test and everything else that doctors have to do before an operation. This was also a great opportunity to get away and do something that would take my mind off what was about to happen to me.

We had intended to paddle sections of the Condamine River but when we arrived at Cecil Plains the river was in flood so we camped there the night and next day headed to the small township of Mitchell. Just out of town is the Neil Turner weir on the Maranoa River, a great campsite beside the river. Flushing toilets, a cold shower and a boat ramp to launch the kayaks. And only a few minutes to a great little town with lots of facilities, what more could a kayaker want. We stayed here for a few days.
