20120923 Qld Cecil Plains-Condamine River

20120923 As we’ve been to Kingaroy many times we restock and left for the Bunya Mt. There's the turn off “Dam” no big rigs aloud, so onto Cecil Plains to camp on the Condamine River only when we arrived the best camp spots were taken and it’s to dry and full of prickles, so we left heading to Millmerran when I noticed a great spot just off the road overlooking the Condamine River. We stayed for a couple of days just lazing around, reading, blogging and uploading photos while Des tried his hand at yabbying with no success, it’s still too cold. 
A drive by photo of these lovely trees in bloom only I don't know what they are.

The lovely scenery on our way to Cecil Plains.

These signs are posted at the gates of many property & for good reason, after reading why.  Through the "FABIAN" secret society in control of the Government they purchased through the U.N Treaty 'Agenda 21' and gave away 85% of our land to the 'Mining Cartels' who are permitted to cut down thousand's trees, BUT the farmer is FINED for cutting ONE tree to grow food crops.

20120924 Des collected wood for a fire while I made some mince for Jaffal's, we set up our chairs and made a drink then watching the many trucks that travel up and down this highway.

Camped up looking over the Condamine River which has heaps of Carp swimming around, Des tried to catch one with a net but they out smarted him, well that wouldn't be hard.
He couldn't catch any carp so he thought he would try his hand at yabbying, only when he was walking down he slipped to the bottom but quickly recovered and looked around to see if I was watching, I would have loved a photo of that.
25-09-2012 We woke to a lovely sunny day and after breakfast headed for Millmerran.


The fire was still hot so Des made Brevilles for breakie only Des burnt them, they were charcoal, we just scrapped of the burnt bits and ate it anyway.


Des washing up after breakie, he's such a good wife.

20190825 Qld Charleville Rock Pool

Image
20190825 About 12ks before Charleville there’s a Rock Pool that was once a quarry and in the summer months a great place to take a dip and cool off but now it’s a great place to camp while sitting around a fire with good friends enjoying and cold ale and what better reason but to catch up with Dick. We joined Dick for a run into town for supplies and stopped to check out the Tower Mural, featuring the youths of Charleville intertwined through sports, painted in a 3D style around a tall, narrow 30-metre-high tower. Our camp for the next few days with Dick’s music blasting out the camp and yes, we had to turn it down because it was keeping a baby awake, next time I’m putting up a sign “NO KIDS ALOUD”. The boys go in search of wood and drags back a large log, now that’s the way to do it Dick. Sit on the log Dick, so I can get a photo, ya sure that will never happen, spoil sport. Gee! somebody looks pleased with himself; anyone would think he cooked it, I guess it

20150809 WA Moora, New Norcia, Bindoon

Image
20150809  The town of Moora came from the Aboriginal name 'Moora' which means blowfly and is situated in one of the most interesting wildflower areas of the state and is the largest town between Geraldton and Perth, well! all I can say is, all the other towns must be bloody small.  The rolling hills on the way to Moora are a blaze with the vivid yellow flowers of canola and are just breath taken and apparently it smells like cabbage. Canola is grown for its seed which is crushed for the oil used in margarine, cooking oil, and a few more. The properties of the oil fits with the current view that human health is better served by increasing the intake of mono and poly unsaturated fats in place of saturated fats The Drovers Inn was built in 1909 and stands on the intersection of the town. The historical buildings are what gives this town it's charm. The New Norcia Benedictine Community is the official title of the group of Roman Catholic monks who have

20210421 NSW Standing Stones to Tenterfield

Image
20210421 We woke to a 1 degree bloody freezing morning, thank god we have a diesel heater, we meet a couple who came in late yesterday afternoon who didn't have a heater at all, stuff that. Des decided to go back to Glen Innes and find the Australian Standing Rocks, as they are called, not Stonehenge as I thought so I set google map for the site and within 10 minutes good old Google guided us in the correct direction. The Stones were created in 1991/92 and the stones commemorate all Celtic people who helped pioneer Australia. The Stones acknowledge the contribution to Australian culture made by people from the Celtic nations of Scotland, Ireland, Cornwall, Wales, the Isle of Man, Brittany, Asturias and Galicia. Look! is that a little leprechaun roaming the grounds .😏 The Ancient Celts were farming people who lived across Europe and the British Isles around 2600 years ago and raised stones as calendars to mark the change of seasons to help indicate when they should sow and harvest.
