Couldn't resist this cute Tasmanian Devil.
We seemed to pass through many areas called 'mount' something or other but never saw any mountains :) that's the nature of Queensland.
Near Mt. Kynock Queensland, a new road on our way to Crows Nest Queensland, where we stayed a few nights then Goomeri which we drove through onto Gayndah in Queensland.
Crows Nest is a town in the Darling Downs region of Queensland. It's a unusual rural town serving surrounding rural district which produces beef and dairy cattle.
The town's uniqueness is a combination of it's celebration of Jimmy Crow, an Aboriginal named by early settlers who lived in a hollow tree. It's the only town in Australia named after a local Aborigine.
Crows Nest has a population of just over 2,000 people.
When we arrived in Crows Nest at the Caravan Park we were told the the town was on level 4 water restrictions which is not good, it was then we realised the severity of the drought.
Near Mount Luke Queensland

DeleteHe looks so cute, but I understand that they are great fighters.
ReplyDeleteIndeed they are Rosemary, not to be taken lightly that for sure.
DeleteI hadn't realised where Crows Nest's name came from. Thank you for that.
ReplyDeleteLove the Tassy Devil.
Mourn the drought.
I didn't know where the name came from either until I did my research and was pleasantly surprised.
DeleteMe ha parecido muy simpática la primera imagen. La caravana la has aparcado en un lugar muy bello.

It was a delight to stay in that caravan park, made so welcome.
DeleteAll the news we seem to get from Australia is involved with drought, flooding, or some other natural disaster!
ReplyDeleteThat's right because that is the nature of Australia in so many areas.
DeleteThe Tassie Devil is so damn cute
ReplyDeleteIt is ever so cute Jo-Anne.
DeleteSoooo cute
ReplyDeleteYou are correct on that Adam.
DeleteI couldn't resist that cute little guy in his Santa suit either!

DeleteSo many country towns have great old buildings still standing because there was no money to be made by demolishing them and building anew. Very fortunate indeed. I love the old garage mural.
ReplyDeleteThat's true Andrew and it's a delight to see these towns with their original buildings.
DeleteSo that's Crows Nest? Why do I feel like I need to go there? I love the tree lined road and have a vague memory of travelling a similar area back in the early 70s.
ReplyDeleteYes that is Crows Nest Queensland.
DeletePerhaps you went there when very young or maybe it's a similar area to where you have been in the past..
Crows Nest is very familiar to me...but, unfortunately, I've never visited the town.
ReplyDeleteRural towns and communities are special.
Definitely special places Lee, always love the inland towns.
DeleteLoved the devil and the mural!!
