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.

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.
