20240620 Qld Pinga at Homebush, Kick Start Hotel

20240620 We packed up and left for Ping’s home about 8ks up the road for a couple of days and their to greet us was Johnny, Michelle’s son who I remembered from Ping’s 50th party and a sweet boy with good manners. We plugged into power and was setting up when Ping and Michelle pulled in so we dropped what we were doing and was greeted with a hug. Ya want to go to the Kick Start Hotel for lunch, you bet ya. We all pile into Pinga’s Ram and take the track through the Cane field and over creeks to reach the hidden gem, The Kick Start Hotel.

Built with the Motorcyclist enthusiasts in mind this pub is a must to visit, this is just one of the many bikes scattered around the pub but this one took Desies interest.

It a great venue for that special birthday and you can camp or book a room and they have live music.

Aww! Check out these love birds, Pinga and Michelle after there yummy smoked chicken, lunch the food is to die for with the aroma of the smoked chicken and pork drifts through the venue leaving your mouth watering.

It sure is a dog’s life, bloody spoiled dog.

Some of the quirky items at the pub along with many bikes.
Love these stain glass doors in the design of skulls.


The pub has many memorabilia’s and murals.

There’s a bit of a store where you can buy a T Shirt, Stubby Cooler, Stickers and much more, they must be ok because Des brought himself and me a shirt.

Johnny poses for me in the Flintstone Car, Yaba Daba Do.

Maybe you should stay outside Des🤷‍♀️😂

Once home we pile into Pinga’s buggy to search for some wood but first we stop at his neighbours for a beer and a chat.

The scene opposite Ping’s home up to his neighbours 4000 acre property, now this I can handle, no neighbours or traffic.

Ping’s mate Boof takes to the sky in his motorized parachute machine.

The boys enjoy a beer from the top of the property as we look ahead to Pings home in the distance.

The red circle is Pings house.

Pinga get to work and in no time we have wood to go, load her up Des.

There are many horses that have the run of this property, all I need is a saddle and I’m gone.

Back home and Pings get to work getting the fire going, you go boy.

Found this little critter when I stole some of Ping’s lemons, it called a Spiny Orb-Weaver called "crab spiders" because of their shape, but they are not closely related to the true crab spiders.

20150809 WA Moora, New Norcia, Bindoon

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.

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

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 live in a small w
