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
Location: Teebar Hall Rd, Teebar QLD 4620, 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...
