Monto to Biggenden

We started the morning in lovely Monto. Packed up and off we went. At a tiny place called Mulgildie, we came across the Bunyip. Our first stop was Eidsvold. A very, very pretty town. We walked up & down the main street. I met a lady in the op shop who filled me on a bit of town history. We had a drink at the Star Hotel (a wonderful refurbishment) before continuing our journey. Next stop was Mundeberra. Some locals were dressed to the nines waiting for the bus to take them to the races at Eidsvold. A very big event for the locals. We stopped at a picnic area at Reid's Creek for our picnic lunch. Only 1 magpie in attendance & he got all the leftovers. Our next stop was Gayndah. We were here 8 years ago & loved it. We visited the amazing museum (still $5 entry!). After that we had a drink at the Grand Hotel (the oldest pub in the oldest town on QLD) . Next stop was our final destination for the day - Biggenden. Gotta love the names. There is some sort of horse thing happening at the Show Grounds this weekend (QLD long weekend).
Booked into the Grand Hotel (lots of them out here). Had dinner at the Commercial (treated to a few people in spurs & a publican with a different sense of humour). After the Bessels went to bed we went out to the beer garden to listen to the live music. Hmmm. Into bed at 9pm & could still hear the noise from the beer garden.Lue lisää
