Finally got a picture with the tire pressure guy. Was looking at his trailer tires while they were next to us. One has a serious cut on it. But he reckons the trips been too easy so he wants to chance it back to the coast. We went on a […]
20231105 Rockhampton
300 odd KMS to get to Rocky. This feels like the Queensland I’m used to. Bruce highway! I remember good ol Bruce. Few big cow statues driving in. Got a free camp site here for two nights. See how it goes. Headed to the zoo. Bit of fun. Chimps were […]
20231104 Emerald day 2
Headed of to some science place. Kylie called yesterday to make sure it were open and not booked out. Well sometime went wrong cause in that conversation, and don’t think it was from our end. Anyway. Went to the nearby damn after. Glad we didn’t stay there. Capacity is quite […]
20231103 Emerald
Short travel day to Emerald. Filled up our empty fridge and cupboards. Cheat day with takeaway, which was pretty good value actually. Bought some shoes as Crocs are hard to find and getting expensive! Shoes will hopefully last longer and give me a chance to start thinking about exercising. What […]
20231102 Armrest Fossicking
Headed to Pat’s to fossick a little bit they were shut. So we headed to Armrest which I think ended up being a blessing in disguise. Nice little bag of wash that we spent an hour sifting through. At the end a quick grading of what was there and sorted […]
20231101 Rubyville
November already? Rubyville is just next to Sapphire. Went for a trek up Policeman’s Knob. Lots of rock wallabies there. Thought the tires would get shredded but a nice view. Headed to Bobby Dazzlers for an underground mine tour. Feels like the place could collapse but can see why people […]
20231031 Sapphire
We got into the car and we drove to Jericho. Nothing there so we went to alpha. Had some lunch then kept going to Sapphire. Ended up going to a caravan Park up a hill. Feed some birds. Had a swim. Kylie had a balloon smashed into her face as […]
20231030 Tambo day 2
walked over to the Qantas crash site. Nosied around town a bit. Saw the Tambo teddies. Saw a firetruck. Saw the chicken races again. Bit of fun. These teddies are like $180 plus! Sure they would make a nice present to someone without kids who still likes teddies though. I […]
20231029 Tambo
Chicken Races. You read that right. A pub that does chicken races. Unfortunately being late in the season it probably wasn’t the full event that I can imagine it would be with a full crowd. Still we got the idea. People think of everything. Seb cracked his head monkeying around […]
20231028 Barcaldine day 2
Headed over to the workers historic museum. Some interesting stuff about the shearers strike leading to the workers union leading to the Australian Labor party. Lots of historic photos of Brisbane as well. Life was different back then. But so much the same. Old schools for kids to get a […]
