Emerald, Queensland

Driving most of the day we arrived at Emerald (a link to last years visit) in good time to settle into the caravan park we stayed in last year.
How nice was the spot that was reserved for us, under a big shady tree. The days were warm but the night were cool.

The second photo was taken in the evening and there was a campfire with people sitting around it listening to a country singer who sang 3 times in the week.  Not my cup of tea.
Photo was taken from our caravan as it was only a stone throw away.

The birds came the next day so there was a rush to grab the camera and shoot.

Last photo if of an artificial tree in the shopping mall.

The population of Emerald is about 13,500 people.

After Biloela, Queensland

Update - Searched the internet - found out what the plant is called - it's a weed and you can read about it { here }

Winter 2018 continued.  After we left Biloela Queensland some distance up the road heading west in the middle of now where I spied these flowers in the bush, so I requested that we stop in a safe place so an investigation could take place.
Have no idea what these blooms are called but they do stand out in the bush, the second photo you can see the attempt to keep a 'pink' ribbon around where they grow.
The bottom photo of the map is where we were heading from Biloela to Emerald in Queensland.
