It's Spring here. The wind has died down. Sort of...but last night Nature had another surprise for us: 5 degrees! We covered ourselves with every piece of bedding available and ended up having a surprisingly comfortable sleep. Of course, this was probably due to the 2 previous windy nights during which we had woken hourly!
We packed up camp this morning, said goodbye to our 2 little lambs and set off on a circular route back to Toowoomba. Our first stop was at a small town called Pittsworth where we took 2 hours to walk up and down the main street. We found a butcher that makes award-winning sausages and an art gallery that contains a selection of paintings by local artists. My favourite artist was Lyn Mathies who clearly 'feels' this country through her works.
We had a coffee and bought some bread rolls for lunch before setting off for another small town called Cambooya where we enjoyed a very Australian 'feast' of vegemite and cheese on bread, followed by a wine at the Bull & Barley Inn, a beautiful example of historical colonial architecture.

We have experienced very strong gusty winds a lot of places though out the NT and West Qld.
ReplyDeleteYou will have to go to Broken hIll, the art there is wonderful. Uluru, magnificent and the Devils Marbles great too.
So windy everywhere!? Those places are definitely on the list...
DeleteYou two cannot seem to ever get a warm place to sleep. Vegemite?
ReplyDeleteSleeping in vegemite is not advisable...it takes too long to wash off!
