Waltzing Matilda Centre Mk Ii

Yes, country is looking amazing(for July/August) after some good rain, Stephen. Falls from around 50-100mm up to some big falls south of town, around 290mm.

Western River just started to come into town, before falling away, and a lot of travellers caught in town when Landsborough H'way was cut.

Few 'vanners caught at Old Cork were evacuated up to a council camp close by, when flood waters blocked their escape, and their larders were looking a little bare.

Otherwise, all good.

Know what you mean about the HoF, Slow. Had a look in there a few months back, and it hadn't changed much since was last there about '89. They do have an excellent RFDS exhibit there now, with Queenair hanging off the ceiling.

Had a couple of trips lined up as recent rain was abating, but highway was only open to trucks, and I needed to get to Longreach. Took one bloke's truck over, so he could leave Longreach legal, and "Animal" got a ride on a float, through the floodwaters.



Ha ha, I've got enough aches, pains & problems these days without adding to them by stepping on a horse. Even thinking about tacking on a shoe gives the back a seizure.

Would expect it'll be much improved on the old one too, Allan. Will keep everyone in the loop, as things progress.

Bob

Now that would be a scary thought Allan! Would never be able to boil the billy, and enjoy a mug, without thinking of those dunnys.

Looking at the drawings, think it may follow the style of the buildings at Australian Age of Dinosaurs. In fact, recall it may be the same architect.

You'll have to make the trek next year for a look?

That's good, Graham. Glad you enjoyed your stay.

Yes, the Truck Museum is really good, but quite often some don't stop, or spend little time there. Probably got no diesel running through their veins, eh! I take the dogs for a walk up past there most mornings, just to check on how the old warriors are going. :-)

Catch up with you next time,

Bob
