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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]
