As you can see from the cover photo (especially for our Victorian friends) it was shocker here today. We overdosed on vitiman D and only some late high cloud sent us scurrying back to write this blog over a beer or two from the local spa and pool heated with artesian well water so its beautifully warm. By the way all the water for this town comes from bores and comes out at 50c plus from the tap. Any cold water you need has to sit and cool or go into the fridge. ...

Description of photo = Meat eating ant. Discovered him today and to think I was concerned with kangaroos, emus and wallabies and this is the one I should have been most scared of. He can clean the flesh of of your bones in 2 weeks. That is better than a 2 week detox diet !! Yet again I sit with a full belly of roast beef and veggies from a camp kitchen dinner.

Grey skies ahead we took to the car again to view the town to find out where the best places are etc On...

Queensland - Great one day, perfect the next. The weather was good yesterday and better today with 26c, little humidty and plenty of sun and NO wind (that means a lot to us Ballaratians). We visited town today and it was open for business today after yesterdays public holiday, a nice little place with a real outback feel. The bakery had to be seen to be believed. I have seen more organised and attractive places in several 3rd world countries. The supermarkets had...
