So we got a storm last night. Tony and Co were sleeping in puddles. The flies were going nuts. The heat and humidity were growing and with more storms forecast we decided to call it and go back and stay at T and As house as they invited us. So […]

20231213 Imbil day 3
Day 300! Headed to Amamoor State Forest for a little hike. Turned out to be a bit more than we bargained. Wasn’t a long walk but pretty steep. Was as nice little cascade along the way followed by a bit of a view from the top. Went back into Imbil […]

20231208 Maidenfield
Gateway to the Bunya mountains. I get the feeling there is a tree called a Bunya tree. And from here I’ll infer that just up the road there is a mountain of these trees. But why they call it a Bunya, maybe we will never know. Small town, 100 or […]

Headed back into Murgon from our Brabham bush camp to see the dairy museum. As with all museums, bit of history here. Interesting the museum is being run by the Murgon community not the South Burnett council. Apparently they nearly went bankrupt so they stopped funding this stuff. All volunteers […]
