From Tenterfield NSW we passed over the boarder of NSW into Queensland, there are no markings and no sign to say that you have arrived in Queensland (on some highways there is).
We drove through Ballandean Queensland, Warwick, Mount Marshall, Kearneys Spring, on our way to Crows Nest Queensland.
At Ballandean is this dinosaur and across the road the Post Office and Chemist shop.
Taken from the vehicle both photos. A place called Dalveen above and an old bridge along the way.
We didn't come across many road works on this trip in our winter 2018.
Mount Marshall area above then Kearneys Spring shopping centre not far from the city of Toowoomba area
A street in Toowoomba Queensland below.
A rest area along the way, then below is part of the Darling Downs in Queensland.
Have put a link if you wish to visit Wikipedia regarding the that area.
And I keep travelling with you... and enjoying every moment..
ReplyDeleteWell that is wonderful :)
DeleteLove the dinosaur!
ReplyDeleteI'm enjoying seeing all of your photographs.
ALl the best Jan
Thanks Jan, I try to show different things..
DeleteOh it’s a dinosaur. I thought it was a politician.
ReplyDeleteShould have a Polly’s head on it somewhere..lol
DeleteIn Queensland that dinosaur could be a politician. As is true in much of the country.
ReplyDeleteEven that area was dry. Love the bridge.
So true EC, so true :) only in Queensland..lol
DeleteNice dinosaur and really nice photos
ReplyDeleteThanks Jo-Anne
DeleteFunny how we put dinosaurs and pollie's together mainly in QLD.
ReplyDeleteThe country looks very dry.
Merle...........
Yes it is odd Merle. Very dry it was., just dreadful.
DeleteQld is the land/state of the dinosaur politicians. You'd be lucky to find a "spec" of a brain amongst them all. The "Deep North" one might say - with the likes of Hanson, Dutton and Christensen plus on the other side - Jacqui Trad!
ReplyDeleteMy God - those photos really show up the drought situation and I guess after your winter trip though this area and with no rain - it looks worse.
I think some rain has fallen recently but it is far too late and too little. Sad times for the rural communities.
Toowoomba is a beautiful city with fine educational facilities and their famous annual flower show.
God !!! Not any water under the broken down bridge.
I hope your readers just observe the severity of this drought and contemplate the seriousness of climate change......the science is all for the beholder to see - IF THEY HAVE EYES?????????
Good report as always, Margaret.
Colin
Thanks Colin. Visited the city centre only once way back in Toowoomba and was very impressed by its beauty. Been going to visit in past years but it was always very foggy in the mornings as we passed through, so always gave the city a miss.
DeleteI'm traveling with you in Australia. If in future I go to Australia, you post will come very handy to me to travel there. :)
ReplyDeleteLet’s hope one day you might get the opportunity to travel to Australia..
DeleteAnother enjoyable post! I confess, I want the dinosaur for our back yard.
ReplyDeleteHa, sounds a good idea..
DeleteThe old railway bridge is good, but not serviceable for trains by the look of it.
ReplyDeleteIt's had the biscuit Andrew :)
DeleteFabulous pictures, I love the dinosaur.
ReplyDeleteNão existem limites para nossos sonhos, basta acreditar. Feliz Natal.
