Calen and surrounds -part 1

Oh Deere farm sits just outside Calen. Once we had set up if course we went for lunch at the Calen hotel the home of the big thongs.
Calen General Store was full of old and new. Unfortunately the chickens out the front were sold Kevin and Casey. As we wondered around there were hundreds of boxes containing everything you could think of. It looks like they ran out of room and started boxing everything up. They had patterns from the 50's, crocheted table cloths utensils and anything you could want or need.
We went for a drive up to Eungella National Park to see a platypus. We got to see 2 but they were very quick and I couldn't get any photos. The drive was very steep and twisty I am glad I don't normally get car sick but this was even a test for me.
We stop at the Sky Window Lookout and the view of the valley was amazing.
On the way back down we stopped in at the Pinnacle Pub and had a pie. I had a pie with mushy peas it was good. The pie was large and yummy.Read more
