We went over to Gladstone today, I went directly to see the hairdressers (been about 3 months and what a mess) and Pat went to Eidsvold to sort out the house and job. We stayed at Matt & Khara's and I caught up with friends Kelly & Rejoice. It was great to talk to them again. I went down to check the house at Miriam Vale on Friday and talk to the agent. On the way back to Biloela I dropped into see Kathy & Harry as a surprise. We left Biloela for Eid...

We're on the way over to Biloela were we are going to stop at my brothers place for a few days visiting before heading to the house at Eidsvold. We decided to stop in and see Sam, a friend of ours that had moved to Blackwater recently. She has recently moved back to Qld from Tassie. We then stayed the night at the free camp at Duaringa and had a great feed at the Road House there. The meal looked massive but in reality is was just a regular meal spread across a...

Just as well I was driving my car because the seats aren't as fitting as the Prado's and they don't put as much pressure on my leg....

Pat an I drove over to "Adels Grove" near Lawn Hill National Park just shy of the Northern Territory Border. It has been on our bucket list forever. We are finally getting to see the beautiful Gorge. We stayed for 3 days. The road through the park was rough dirt for about 20 km or so but once in there it was really enjoyable even though the area was dry. The room wasn't quite what I expected due to me not reading the brochure properly (imagine a beautiful ensu...
