How’s this for two quick entries in the blog !
So no “War & Peace” this time.  We left Maryborough and only got as far as Bundaberg before deciding it was worth a visit here too.  Home of the famous rum, of course, but haven’t partaken of any of it.  The smell is enough for me!

Now the ginger beer barrel is something else and we certainly paid a visit there.  Not only is the ginger beer delicious but their lemon, lime and bitters was just the thing on a hot day.

The Burnett River runs through the town.  This is one of the many bridges which span the river and the parkland surrounding it.

For those who know my aversion to Melbourne trams coming hurtling down the street towards me, how much worse was this.  Driving along the road and all I see is this huge train coming straight for me.  I had actually pulled over before I realised that it was turning.

Yesterday, we went out to Gin Gin to do the market.  This is a one street town with the strangest parking we have yet to come across.  Check out this picture and every car you see is parked and it was like this the whole length of the town.  Two rows hapharzardly everywhere.

The market wasn’t great but Bev, you will be interested in the fact that it was $10.00 for the stall and they then supplied you with a full cooked breakfast, sausage, bacon, egg, beans,onion and  toast included in your stall fee.  Another first.

On the way back to Bundaberg we came across the “Mystery Craters” and couldn’t resist a look.

We are off again tomorrow, further north.  Probably headed for Rockhampton but the best laid plans usually change before morning
