20200925 Qld Teebar Sport Ground to Tolderodden Park

20200925 Arriving at Teebar Sports Ground and there's not a sole in site so we parked up and went in search for power and once again we struck gold, what more do you want, hot showers, toilets, power and the grounds to ourselves, theirs even a play ground for Des to run free in, I'm kidden.😂

Our camp for the next couple of days, all we need is a fire and I would be a happy chappy.

With not much to do I grab a beer and my camera and go in search for some creative photos, once a year Teebar hold a Campdraft and Rodeo but unfortunately due to covid it's cancelled.

Now I'm really shown my creative side and if you look closer you will see my beer on the steps.

I just love these old cattle yards they have so much character and makes for some great pic's.

27-08-2020 Well it's time to move on as we are beginning to get bored and would love to find a creek where we can have a fire and camp up for a week, it's times like this that we wish the borders were open. We head to Gayndah so Des can check his credit card balance, he can be so frustrating, if only he'd download his bank app he could check it anywhere, but no, not Des.

I managed a fly by shoot of the Mt Walsh National Park, the summit has three peaks, exposed granite outcrops and steep slopes.

The Orange Capital of Queensland'. This claim is given some added weight by the 'Big Orange' which stands at the end of town.

We lunched at the Burnett Hotel and Des got the largest rissoles we have ever seen, great food here.

We camped at the Gayndah Railway Complex which was an important part of the town, constructed at the turn of the twentieth century and features a waiting shed, goods shed, loading platform and crane.

Gayndah Heritage Railway Rail Trail is now the proud owners of four M Class Series carriages from the Sunlander as part of Queensland Rail's 150th birthday celebrations.

Built between 1905-1914 the Degilbo-Mundubbera Railway Bridge is nearly 1000 feet (294 metres) long and with 58 spans this was the second longest timber bridge in Queensland.

We stopped for lunch just out of Eidvolds when this old couple pulled in, ha Des check this out as they pulled up and we were quick to check it out, a 1959 Ford Custom Line and to set it off they were towing the old Viscount Caravan so of cause I had to get a pic as he stood as proud as punch, 45 years he's owned the old beast and has since added a 2 litre cordial bottles attached to the radiator, a cleaver man is this one.

Onto Cracow

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

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

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.
