Journey in a Journey

As we head south we have made a few quick stops at a few interesting places.  We stopped at Hebel just north of the NSW border.  The town has a pub, cafe, caravan park and library.  Just a tiny little town but the pub is worth stopping for.  Very cute. We then did a quick stop at Lightening Ridge.  We had a wander down the streets to look at the opals and stopped in to see the John Murray Art Gallery.  Awesome paintings just a little out of my price range. As you can see were not in Victoria yet but the clouds are already forming.  😢

Last night we stayed at Lara Wetlands Bush Camping Grounds.  You have no idea how nice it was to be sitting on grass again looking out at water.  The campground is on a rural property with campers camping around a shallow wetlands area.  It is really relaxing having grass under your feet again just looking out at the birds in the wetland area.  The area also has free canoes to use on the wetland area and a hot and I mean really hot thermal pool. We have now started the journey home.  We stopped at Tambo to see the Tambo Teddies.  The swagman teddy was lovely but above my price range and had a lovely lunch enjoying the last of the winter Queensland sun as we head south.

Today we went to the Stockmans Hall of Fame.  The museum is divided into 5 different zones for different periods of time in Australian history from the Aboriginals to the early settlers through to the stockman that lived and worked in the outback.    They also have an outback stockmans show which was good.  It was a one man show telling you about life as a stockman.  It was a very diverse show including some singing, some very well trained horses and dogs. Even some sheep and a very large bull.
