Brisbane!

Arrived Brisbane on 29th July!  I'll base myself here until November, looking at exploring QLD & perhaps northern NSW, if it's not too cold down there.  I'll spend maybe a week-10 days here before venturing off again so I'll have to work out where to go/what to see.

The extra day in Morven was spent catching up on things and exploring the town.  There is a very interesting museum run by local volunteers which is well worth a visit.  There is a Kerosene Tin Hut on the site, popular during the Depression but which is now quite a rarity.  There are also some splendid replicas of early buildings on display, showing the ingenuity of the early settlers.

From Morven I drove to Kumbia and stayed the night there, so as to be at the top end of Bunya National Park:  My plan was to drive thru it the following day on my way to Brisbane.  It is a dense forest with some walks to various points which are both interesting in the forest they pass thru and in the views at the end!  Some campgrounds are located in the park, permission must be organised beforehand, I gather (I didn't camp in the Park but it would be a very nice spot to spend a few days).  I was talking briefly to a Ranger who was concerned about the damage wild pigs are doing to the Park, which I gather is considerable.  It was a fleeting conversation as I really stopped to ask for instructions to get to the Warrego Highway, which he also provided.  Thus I departed, drove thru Toowoomba and on into Brisbane, where I shall have to lay out plans for trips for the next three months.
