Wallaman Falls.

Olive and I went for a spin out to Wallaman Falls this morning, happily Olive mentioned it was a national treasure despite it only fairly recently becoming known thanks to the internet.

Here we are in a not too flattering shot on the viewing platform.

Fumbly old Jimmy setting up the camera for that shot.

Some info about the falls, I was taking a picture but the shot of Olive's had more charm.

A merely overweight Jimmy rather than the fat one he used to be, posed for the camera. I seem to be getting a bit of a John Winston Howard look to myself now, and that's certainly nothing to be ashamed of, these days the concept of a PM governing over a budget surplus is about as much of a fantasy as fuel for under a dollar a litre, but in my adult life he managed it somehow.

We even had a bit of a picnic snack while we were out, happily with a minimum of insects curious about these human interlopers.

Last stop.

At the Bushy Parker Park at Rollingstone I noticed this spider, though I have no idea whether a bite results in instant death or just a painful lingering one.

Sandy Corner.

I noticed the lavatories at Sandy Corner have been upgraded. Despite still lacking a urinal having three unisex stalls makes these much more serviceable than the previous two sexed stalls.
The light showing in the middle stall is from the torch Olivia very conveniently had with her.

Right price at Clairview.

We stopped again at the lovely Clairview and noticed these goodies at the community centre which is beside the nice public lavatories.
The black box in front of the sign is the Star Wars Trilogy but the world's moved on and unlike the houses here that suffer from an extra zero on the end of the price, free is about the right rate for VHS gear, including the recorder.
We had a look and left it for someone more desirous.

Yaamba,

Maybe this will be the last time I stop at this comfort spot. I've loved it in the past when colourful birds abound on the feeding trays shown on the left here, but they've been absent for years now whenever I travel past, couple that with a very ordinary public lavatory that lacks a urinal and it's often a miserable stop, urinals are a vital thing for travellers.
The soggy look is from rain that drenched the east coast, happily it was pretty well gone on Saturday.

Rockhampton.

Naturally a train held us up in Rockhampton where it very usually runs down the middle of a main street.
After a short while I remembered that if I used the camera that the train would complete its crossing, true to form it did and I just caught it.
The usual bland car colours in view, Australia is cursed by a sea of bland grey cars, it's become a real joy to see the unusual like a pretty green car now.

Monto.

Monto has a lovely barbeque area which also has the look of being funded by recent government handouts to stimulate things, the side effect being the economy reduced to a perilous state.
Much of that would have been avoided if the tenders for work had the trailing zero on the price erased from the often hyper inflated cost.
Olivia was relaxed too that Morning and stayed in good cheer all day.
