Kim and Debbie arrived yesterday afternoon looking exhausted after driving all the way from Bowen, over 500 kms. We chatted for a while before dinner, over the noise of crows and corellas fighting over the same tree- the corellas won. They are making a racket again as I type, but there are no crows involved this evening.
We cooked for the two travellers last night and tonight they will return the favour. Today we all visited the Heritage Park a few kilometres out of Rocky, 128 acres with genuine old houses, churches, school, farmhouse buildings, many old trucks and tractors, army vehicles, fire engines, etc. All set in garden surroundings, a very interesting place. One house was built in 1908 and lived in till 2009, you wouldn't believe how primitive it was, with no mod cons at all, even electricity. Others are even older, one which I thought was a modern idea of an old shack, with very draughty cracks in the walls, turned out to be the genuine thing.
Once again we've been blessed with a lovely day and if only those birds would stop their squawking I'd believe this was Paradise.
