The founding site of the Australian Labor party? Something to do with a shearing strike. There is a tree of knowledge which is just outside the train station. This is where they meet to discuss the issues. It was a windy drive down to here. We also stopped at a […]
20231026 Qantas Founders Museum
Headed over to the founders museum. Pretty good museum, but expensive. And we only did the basic entry. It’s almost like an economy entry, and then there are a few better options. So it is confirmed that Winton is the birthplace of Qantas however they moved from there pretty quick. […]
20231025 Australian Stockman’s Hall of Fame
The temperature matched my age today. Low 40s. The hall of fame was a really good complex, the super wide screen movie was pretty good although entry to the museum was pricey. They got some weird iPod system that means you can listen to lots of stuff, but didn’t suit […]
20231024 Longreach day 1
Made it to Longreach. Not sure where I thought it was but not here. Kylie said this was the birthplace of Qantas. I told her that was a stretch, some might even say a long-reach. Ba boom! Stinking hit. But water is drinking quality. Headed to the Thompson River Cruise […]
20231023 Lark Quarry
Long drive with last 60kms alternating between sealed and unsealed road. Think it was worth the trip to see the only discovered dinosaur stampede. Not sure about all the theories around what we are seeing but what do I know? Kids did 6 they enjoyed it as well. Went and […]
20231022 Age of dinosaurs
Went for a drive to this site. Very well done but blimey governor, expensive. We do have the three site pass which has now well and truly paid itself off. Went really cause it gets stinking hot around here. There tours in one here, not like there parts to visit. […]
20231021 Winton day 1
Also known as Wonton due to auto correct. Or maybe Google AI senses I’m craving some Chinese. Pretty decent town. Main strip was busting with life, maybe cause it’s Saturday? Did the Waltzing Matilda museum. Kids ran a muck and killed it for me but otherwise it’s a nice museum, […]
20231020 Hughenden day 2
Early start to go to porcupine gorge, need to beat the heat. Not a bad little spot. Wouldn’t say it’s the most impressive however nearing the end of the dry season not really a fair comparison. Imagine it world be more impressive early June or something. Then went and saw […]
20231019 Hughenden day 1
Looked at staying at the free RV site. But Dusty and trucks moving lots of rocks made it worse. Went to the info center and museum. Nine little town at well. Kids were playing hide and seek peekaboo with the bar tender while we had a beverage. Kids tried some […]
20231018 Richmond day 3
Lazy day around the site. School work. I did a pub crawl through the town with Seb while Mira finished school work. went and did a bit more fosicking. Hard work in the sun. Small swim and a fish in the lake. No luck with fishing, just a few
