Chapter Thirteen.
No superstitions, the next few months will be GOOOOD!!
Monday 29th April 2002, (Tambo).
The continuing journey through the outback, especially seeing it is the year of the outback, has now taken us to a small town called Tambo. This town boasts that is possibly the oldest Queensland outback township, and some of the houses reflect […]
Friday 26th April, (Charleville).
I had a very interesting day today learning some chores on the computer while Linda did her weekly shopping thing. I was intent on finding out how to transfer emails from one PC to another, by a method other that one at a time. I am committed to doing this at some […]
Thursday 25th April, (Charleville).
We are now at Charleville, a further 200k west, and were only going to stay for four days but may change our booking for a longer term. The town is quite a nice place and the park we are staying in is one which gives the feel of a place one could […]
Monday 22nd April, (Mitchell).
We have now moved on to Mitchell, known as the gateway to the outback and I thought we have been in it for ages. It turns out we didn’t have to stay the extra day at Roma to catch the TV shows as they have the same channels available here as they […]
Tuesday 16th April, (Roma).
We had a walk around Roma today and took a heap of photos of some of the old buildings, and were quite surprised to find all the hotels are in what seems original condition of construction.
One other thing we have found different here is the water. It is artesian water that seeps […]
Sunday 14th April, (Roma).
It turned out that it didn’t rain after all, so we packed up this morning and moved on to Roma, nearly 200k from Chinchilla past Miles.
Roma, from what I have seen so far, is a very old town and has some really old buildings that I am sure will make good photos.
We […]
Saturday 13th April, (Chinchilla).
We moved yesterday to Chinchilla, 85k west, and decided to camp at ground 9k southwest of Chinchilla. The camping ground is set by a lake created by a weir and is in a very secluded and quiet surrounding. A very peaceful evening was spent there last evening and we were looking forward […]
Wednesday 10th April, (Dalby).
I had a walk around town today taking a heap of pictures, some of which appear below. I find it hard to include photos in my memoirs as there ends up being so many I would like to include but it would be unreasonable to include them all.
One would possibly think that […]
Tuesday 9th April, (Dalby).
A trip to Lake Broadwater about 30k south was the order of the day, and turned out to be rather disappointing. Then if we had thought a little more about it, and maybe listened to the advice from the visitors centre, and made our visit at either daybreak or sunset the trip […]
Monday 8th April, (Dalby).
A day of relaxation today, but we went for a drive to Bunya Mountains yesterday. The Bunyas are very picturesque with good scenery overlooking the western flats. There are plenty of bush walks to undertake but unfortunately with Linda’s leg as it is we forfeited them. We did get to see some […]
