How Green is West QLD?

hahahaha

Interesting news. When traveling west I always used to stay at the Blackall van park because of the camp oven meals and Gary Lowe - a great bush poet! When we arrived in Mitchell with the kids last year the van park guys asked us if we'd like to have a bush poet visit at no cost and lo and behold it was Gary. Apparently the Blackall van park went 'upmarket' and both the camp oven cooking and the bush poetry was considered to be unnecessary with the advent of new owners. Gary is now happily esconced in Mitchell. Blackall's loss and Mitchell's gain

I'm delighted to hear that you are continuing on with this very Australian tradition of camp oven cooking. We stop at Blackall for lunch so won't have time to visit but we really appreciate the invite.

I wonder how the park is getting on........hmmm.

Thank you. It's hard work being part of looking after 100 kids but it is also very rewarding and especially for me as I love western QLD.

Can I give a plug here for the bus company - Kangaroo Bus Lines.They now have a huge fleet of buses doing tours and safaris all over Queensland and well beyond. They always send two cooks, one of whom actually owns the company and she's brilliant with our kids. How's that for service!
