20190528 Qld Lara Wetlands Birthday Night

20190528 Waking to Des saying happy Birthday with a plane to go out for dinner but after talking with Jo I was more than happy to spend the night around the fire with Des cooking Jaffles for the crew. Once again we go on the hunt for supplies for tonight dinner and came up with more than enough so I prepare the mince ready for another night full of fun and laughter.

Who said us oldies don't know how to party.

Well, as I prepared the mince I only think it's fair  Des and Ross  do the honour's and feed this crew.
Keep them coming boy as Gertie returns for 2nds, but I must admit there's nothing better than Jaffle's on the fire, except for camp oven stew of cause.
Gee, Des looks exhausted, or is that because he never shuts up telling his tales.
Now who might that cheeky bugger be trashing my photo, then after checking I recon it could be that young buck camped behind us, bloody Pete's at it again.
I bet if it was a young chick wanting a photo he'd have a grin from ear to ear, little prick.
Now he laughs, what are these pair up to, something certainly got there fancy.

The station hand relaxing after a big day on the land and all eye's are on Kev, what's he up to, but then he's always got a Mischievous grin on his face. 
There nothing better than sitting around a camp fire having drinks with old friends.
I knew when we turned into Lara Station we would be meeting new friends but this lot take the cake, as the beer flowed so did the jokes as we giggled the night away.

Thanks guys for a wonderfully different birthday, even though that young buck Pete kept on saying I was older than I really am the cheeky bugger. O, by the was thanks Gertie for the birthday cookies.😵
This is  the 2nd time at Lara Station and I just love it more each time, especially when I get pressies from all my new found friends.

Location: Landsborough Hwy, Patrick QLD 4725, Australia

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 w...

20240608 Qld Miara, Miriam Vale to Turkey Beach Dick’s

Image
20240608  We arrived at Tony’s house and because his land is uneven Will, his neighbour was kind enough to let us park on his nice lawn. Des always put a jack under the steps for extra support when Tony yelled out, is that so Leonie doesn’t break the steps, No I said it’s in case you want to come in, Ha!Ha got ya.  I collecting wood from down the back while the boys did nothing apart from bending their elbows drinking beer and  because the guys were too lazy, leave it up to the only female. 50 Cans per shelf Tony recons and I’m sure he would know, he fills it every day.😁 So our Tony feed the Kookaburras with a special dog food that’s good for them and his theory is they keep the snakes away. We had a funny night while sitting around the fire that I built, and the conversation about the people we have all known while downing a few too many beers. Will worked with Dick and knew his brother who was killed in a tragic Crain accident in Darwin many years ago, we certainly liv...

20240520 NSW Deepwater to Coolatai

Image
20240520 So here we are once again back in Deepwater and parked in our old spot, how special it is to be able to connect to power, it’s like luxury especially when you’re travelling. Later in the afternoon Chris, a guy we meet last time we were here came to say Hi, then we joined him in the bar for a few ales with more of the locals. 20240521 We had the heater going all night and the van in the morning is still bloody freezing, let’s travel in winter he says, it’ll be great he says, ya sure if you like freezing all night. Des goes outside to wash up and what he thought was a dish left behind turned out to be his frozen dish cloth, I told you it was cold.🥶  We left the Longhorn and headed back to the Common Campground for a few days, we have become very fond of the spot, it’s so peaceful and secluded and has heaps of wood. We had a great few days enjoying our surroundings with no one in site, just the occasional car passing by and the only evidence is the dust off the dirt road. No...
