20250914 On our way to Dalby to catch up with more friends Sue and Richard McNeill who have moved to a new home just out of Dalby but not far from there old home. But first we need to stop to pick up a roast, each time we visit Dalby we buy a roast for Sue to cook and OMG I don’t know what she does but it’s to die for. So far this trip we’ve had three roast meals at each friends home we’ve stayed and all have been different and amazing, I’m thinking we just keep on doing a round trip visiting friends and eating roast meals. Here we are on the steps that overlook the view from Sues new home, a much better view and wide open space. We stayed up chatting and catching up on old friends from the past, more so Sue and Des as they knew similar friends while Richard and I plan a drive to check out Jimbour House which he told me on our last visit he would take me the next time we visit. 15/09 After breakfast we pile into Richard’s car and head out to the back of Dalby to see   Jim...

20250904 After leaving Hervey Bay we passed through Howard and onto Childers for the night, we’ve been here many times and it’s one of my favourite towns to visit as we pass through on our travels.  05/09 Today we drive to Gin Gin to camp for the night and to catch up with our old mate Jody for lunch who owns a station at Mount Perry where we will spend a few days, but not tonight. 06/09 Look out Jody here we come all boozed up and ready for my famous camp stew, all you have to do is turn up with a friend or three and let us entertain you. Once there I prepared the stew then we  crack a beer and settled in for a night of laughter around the fire. We had a couple campers join us for our stew, which must have been good as they went back for seconds. Talk about a funny night, we had the campers and Susie, Jodies step mum in stitches talking about our travels and some of the people we’ve met along the way, we even got onto some of the ailment you get as we grow old, that put a rea...

20250827 Qld Gunalda, Urangan, Rivers Head, Cradnish to Burrum Heads

20250827 Our intention’s was to head south but it was too bloody cold so north it is, I grab my bowl of fruit and take a seat in the Whinge Bago as we head out of our driveway, through Capalaba and towards the gateway. Here’s hoping for a hussel free trip as we head up the Bruce highway to a town with a pub, Gunalde which is tucked in the back streets just off the highway. A small town with  the basic conveniences plus a pub and just around the corner if you’re in need of a morning caffeine hit is a cafe.  There’s ever an  electric car charging stations near the park but unfortunately NO Meals at the pub tonight, just our luck. 20250828 Des cooked breakfast in the park just up the road before leaving to check out a camp spot up the road before heading to Karen and Rooster’s at Glenwood where we piled into their car for a trip to Tin Can Bay. Every Thursday night there’s a jam session held at the Snack Shack where many locals, young and old come together for a night o...
