Quality Inn Roma

Today we went bush walking. Same many great sights, but not a whole lot of wildlife. The group is awesome. Everyone seems to be getting along, and Mark, Andreas, Rudy, and I have really gotten along. Tonight I tried and enjoyed kangaroo.<br>

... out the free camps along the way just in case we ever need them. Had morning tea at a little town called Warra and it was a great little spot. The old railway station had been upgraded slightly and very clean toilets, including disabled toilets with a ramp. It was also near the local pub (if you could call it that)! It is a very small town.<br><br>We had lunch at Dulacca Rest Stop. Free camp with showers near the ...

... niet zo gemakkelijk...we waren bijna een stukje foto-apparaat kwijt. Langs het riviertje zijn meerdere opmerkelijke bezienswaardigheden, zoals de door de tand des tijds gesculpteerde rivierwanden, een natuurlijke amphiteather en de duizend-jaar-oude wandtekeningen van de Aboriginals. De uitleg van de gids Fred, een 60 jarige cynische Aboriginal met ongelofelijk veel natuurkennis, maakten het nog meer spectaculair.

As we write, we are at Wallumbilla Showgrounds, 40 kms East of Roma. We have electricity, water and a country view which costs nothing. We are beginning to settle in to our nomadic way of life. We certainly don't regret selling our house. Our homework has paid off and our stress level has dropped from 10 to 1 on the Richter scale. What we do miss is our friends and hashing with Halfway but the Australian countryside and sights is rewarding enough.

Roma Just a Quick trip up North to Roma for the first Day This is our first real day out and we found a nice place at the BIG RIG Caravan Park in Roma and spend the afternoon and next morning exploring Roma and the surrounding areas. We were able to view the cattle sales at Roma (10,500 head) all automated and very hot!

I've always thought vegetarians were cruel to animals. The reason is that the number of farm animals 'produced' depends on the demand for meat. Farm animals experience quality of life - they're happy when they get fed, when they get to relax, hang out with their mates and so on - you get the picture. When vegetarians decide not to eat meat the demand ...

On Saturday I went to Roma for cup-day at the racetrack. It's a bout four and a half hour from where I'm at now. Racing seem to bee very important and popular in Australia. It was estimated that there were about 8-10 000 at the court that day, and everyone is dressed up with hats, highheels and skirts or dresses, the men shirt and tie. There was even an fashion competition for the women with the nicest outfit! First race started at 1315, and there was a horse after ...

hello, well we are in the bush again, we encounterd our first road trains and they are big and scary. we went to toowoomba yesterday and there was no accomodation because of some conventions going on, so we went onwards to chinchilla. we are on our way to mackay vai emerald to go fossiking for gems in rubyvale it should be fun. to day we went to a historical villidge in miles it was really fun, there was all of the usual stuff like general store and ...

... gerammt. Jaja, nicht wirklich spannend... Also wieder schlafen, morgends aufwachen, diesmal aber mit dem Begehren nach einer Dusche. Auf einem der Caravan-Parks durften wir duschen, umsonst. Nicht schoen aber selten :) Und es erfuellte seinen Zweck... wir waren sauber. Also ging es ein Stueck in den Sueden. Naechster Stop Goondiwindi. Auch hier war nichts los. Paar Wasserfaelle (falls man mal n bissl laufen moechte), ein National Park der ...

... away from the coast. Something not for the faint hearted was a two way road which was only wide enough for one vehicle where the speed limit is set at 100km/h. Both vehicles usually pull half over into the gravel, but it's rather like chicken to see if you dare not pulling over or doing it very last minute. Roma, not that in Italy but in the middle of Queensland, has the oldest winery in this state and over Easter it's Rodeo time. Although we didn't ...
