Milllmerran, Queensland

We stopped in Millmerran, Q'land for about 3 days after travelling all that way, and finally we had arrived in the State of Queensland.  Had all the washing from when we left home and it was time to put a little lighter clothing on, though not warm it was warmer than what we had been through.
Caught up on my washing, 4 loads costing just $12.00, could have done it in my own washing machine but it would have taken too long as my machine is very small and great when you wash everyday or second day.

I found the lake at the caravan park to be rather low, much lower than it was in previous years when we stayed.  The grass around the caravan site was not that green, there also were not many people in the caravan park either.  A glimpse of Millmerran in 2017 here. This link will show better the water level in the lake.

There is a bushfire near Millmerran, the evacuation centre being the Showground..


The photos are from the internet supplied by the Fire Brigade of the fire near Millmerran, Queensland.  It appears some  houses are lost.

Warialda to Texas

We continued onto  Warialda where we have stayed before, photos of the town are here.
On this post we have the 'oval' with lights on as the sunset.  In the morning time I took a photo across the road of that 'green' house.  Yes, I don't like houses painted that colour.
Then up the road on our way out a house with so many ornaments it's hard to see them all, but that is ok because the people that live there love them.
Then more photos as we travelled towards Texas and a sign not that far from Texas which is near enough on the border of New South Wales and Queensland, yet the weather was still not warm as we approached north in winter where it usually is warmer.

A good time was had at Warialda as we ventured with another couple staying at the caravan park to the golf club for dinner, a tasty Chinese meal where tablecloths were checked - wow, it's been sometime since I've sat at a dinning table with that type of cloth.
