POTTSVILLE NSW

Pottsville NSW, we love the place. We have had a fantastic 2 weeks, catching up with family, relaxing by the water, morning walks along the beach, having the odd beverage................we think you get the idea. Here's just a few reasons to love this place.

 

 

 

 

 

 Whale spotting was a regular occurrence along the beach.

 

 Is that a whale????

 

You betcha!!!!!

                            Get's a bit busy on the weekend

 No, it's not any of the Chookpen's occupants

 

 

SOUTH CENTRAL QUEENSLAND, SUNSHINE COAST

We have just been ambling around, stopping for a few days here and there and just enjoying life.

 

 Coal Mine at Moura

 

We found a terrific place to stay at Monto, stayed the week. Lovely welcoming town. Great butcher and bakery.

View from the loo.

Found this to be a novel idea. Decided to try express lane once, too.




   Lucky to have landed in Kenilworth on the Sunshine Coast Hinterland during an arts festival. Had a great time. Poets breakfast was an absolute hoot and the art was stunning.

Ventured into Noosa Heads but found it to be a bit overwhelming. Too hectic for us. It appears we enjoy a slower pace these days. Headed down the coast and found Mooloolaba a nicer place to stay.

 

Glasshouse Mountains in the distance.

 

Storm brewing at Beenleigh. We have been lucky so far with all the thunderstorms happening around south east QLD at the moment, we seem to be just skirting around them.

 

 Heading down to one of our favourite places on the Tweed Coast, Pottsville. Hope to bunker in for a couple of weeks.

 

QUILPIE TO GOONDIWINDI QLD

After a wonderful 5 days in Quilpie it was time to hit the road again. Destination was Eulo and a hot mud spring bath was beckoning.

 

 

 Road to Eulo

 

 Oh yeah, the hot mud bath was a beauty



First a nice soak, then lather with mud, soak again and finish with a hot spring shower. As Richie would say.........marvellous!!!

 

Mud baths were not the only thing available, it was also a date farm......

.....and a haven for "stuff".

After the bath it was time for a wind down at the Eulo Queen.

 

 How's this for a dunny.

 

Cunnamulla next stop and here is the bloke made famous by Slim Dusty.

 

 Camped by the river at Bollon and were treated to this magic sunset.

 

 

We were a bit unlucky when we stopped over at Nindigully Pub, but did make it for happy hour that night and washed down a big country pub meal.

 

 View from the loo, Nindigully Pub camp.

It was onwards to Goondiwindi where we farewelled Gaye and Bruce. We headed north and they headed southwards back home.

 

The famous Gunsynd (Goondiwindi Grey)

 Another great sunset
