Welcome

Welcome to Derek and Karen's travel blog. We hope you will enjoy following our journey around Australia the slow way. We will try to keep our blog entertaining for you with our photography and highlights and the occasional lowlights (hopefully not too many of those). We have a couple of adds on the right that you are more than welcome to click on to view, that will help us along the way. The add about the Amazon Kindle is about our favourite choice of ebook that we read for at least 2 hours every day. We have a Kindle each and down load all sorts of books to read on them. So we hope you enjoy our blogs.

 This is Virgin Rock, just north of Springsure on the way to Emerald in Qld. The road was blocked so we couldn't go up there. We did continue on to Springsure for lunch but was very disappointed to find that the only pub does not do Sunday lunches so we continued down the street to the cafe the pub manager recommended and also said was the only place open on Sundays for food. I ordered Caesar salad with chicken @ $13.95. What I got was a normal size soup bowl filled to the top only with the standard Caesar salad stuff (no croutons as per request) and 5 pieces of bread looking things with chicken flavouring. This was the only Gluten free choice on the menu board as all the rest was crumbed and deep fried. The cook had to read the frozen bag to tell me that it was mostly wheat. It was advertised as chicken pieces. Not!!!


Now for something a little more calming.

This is a little family of ducks that live next to us at the lake. 11 babies at last count. How cute are they!



This shot is now on our wallpaper on our big laptop.

We took it on Sunday after all the boaties had left for the weekend. Scroll down for the last bit of sunshine shot.




Silver road to heaven.
