I'm So Slack

Well folks for everyone wondering what had happened to the updates, I must confess.  Yes it was my turn and I must admit that I have been very slack since finishing work and just not wanting to sit at a computer and write.

We spent two lovely days at Narromine as we specifically wanted to visit the Aviation Museum and you guessed it - the only day it wasn't open was on Tuesday. We didn't mind as we stayed in the lovely caravan park next to the Airfield - narrominetouristpark.com.au. This place had the cleanest and largest toilet and shower blocks I have ever seen which is a credit to Terry and Jo who ran the place. They had a great system worked out with one of the clubs that delivered pizzas to your door - and they were a lovely treat from all the healthy eating we had been doing.

The Museum was awesome - the airfield was a RAAF base during WWII. The place is a credit to all of the volunteers who are involved in the displays, restorations and running the place. At $10.00 entry, less for seniors, it was a real blast. Some real WAAAF history too for us ladies that have served. Have a look at narromineaviationmuseum.org.au.

The town can also boast a sporting legend - Glen McGrath.


We headed off again as we really need to start getting closer to Brisbane if we were going to make it for the school holidays for Joshie. We did two quick overnighters one at Narrabri followed by Goondiwindi. If you ever are in Goondiwindi can highly recommend the showground for an overnight stay over. Once again I was amazed at the sparkling toilets and showers - think I should be running a rating system here🤓.

On Friday (7Apr) we made it to the outskirts of Brisbane and stayed at Lake Dyer Caravan Park. A really nice spot but such a pity the lake was closed - ahh still no fishing as the lake was under 20%. Now you know you are really in Queensland when you start to see signs warning about closing the toilet lid - and for someone that has had their bottom kissed you know you have to look.

Toilet warnings Qld style

Now I reckon that the people that run the place on behalf of the council must have been in some type of enforcement role in their previous life. There were rules and signs galore - weren't even allowed to adjust the shower head in the showers.  It was really bizarre. Anyhow all of this became somewhat explainable when we headed into town (Laidley) to do some shopping and take a look around.  Some real social issues here and not a great deal to see.




The Laidley Pioneer Village and Museum is quite a rare find and worth a visit.

On Sunday morning we headed of for the last trek to Brisbane to visit the first stop for family that we don't get to see too often.
