Western Qld - Cobbold Gorge to Pinnarendi Station

Day 12 - Wednesday 17th September, 2025

Packed up early this morning, chatting with Johno and Dave the Staffy along the way.  Johno, Julie and Dave are heading off today to the Oasis Roadhouse at The Lynd which is south and we are headed to Pinnarendi Station slightly north east.  A nice short day.

Arriving about 1pm, we booked in and Nadine the owner remembered us from when we stayed earlier in the year.  We found a spot in the unpowered section and waited for the Razzles to arrive (thankfully we told Nadine that we had friends on their way because she was nearly at full capacity.  We left before the Razzles this morning, stopped at Georgetown for fuel, fresh veges,  couple of grocery items and smoko and then carried on to Pinnarendi.

First call upon Doreen's arrival was lunch at the onsite Bistro, which we were happy to obilge since it was so yummy last time.  Nadine was alone in the kitchen and doing book ins as well, so lunch took way longer then expected and I needed to get back to camp to do the wages.  Grabbed some homemade Pinnarendi Jerky and a loaf of their Sourdough this time.


To be quite honest, nothing really happened after lunch that's worth mentioning - sleeping, reading, work, chatting.  We couldn't have a fire tonight because it was way too windy.
Again it is a pleasant stay at Pinnarendi Station, you have toilets, showers, powered sites, unpowered sites, laundry and onsite Bistro that does lunch and dinner.  Unpowered spot is $26.00 per night and they are dog friendly.
