Crows Nest, Queensland.

We moved onto Crows Nest further north for a few nights.  We stayed there last year.

A statue of Jimmy Crow, an Aboriginal who lived in the area and gave the town its name is believed to have lived in a hollow tree.
The statue weights over a ton, and was cut from a block of Helidon freestone. 
Jimmy Crow was an exceptional tracker and traditional man.

A small restaurant at the Caravan Park which is rather popular. 

The water in the pond was as below in 2018. 2019 as above and of course a drought.

There are a few shops in Crows Nest which is not that far from Toowoomba to the east. There is also a small supermarket.

The Post Office and the Catholic Church.

Way to Crows Nest, Queensland.

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.
