The view from my "office"

[Flashback]

An earlier than planned pit stop last night as where we were meant to stay was full. Makes for a longer drive today. Mamou, Guinea.





Bit of thunder, lightning and torrential rain today so should be fun.

Cherry blossom overload in Deloraine TAS today, nearly as good as being in Japan !! ( OK if I am going to be honest I would rather be in Japan ) plus one red Japanese maple, and even the woolies Carpark had blossoms !

How is it that the one armed man in your photos keeps swapping his lost arm from left (in previous photo) to right in this one? He seems very flexible!

He is very flexible for an old guy

The morning tea office with donuts from the Rustic Bakehouse Cressy consumed at the Bracknell RV Point beside the Bracknell river.

The brunch office in Faranah, where we should have stopped last night. Surprisingly difficult to find food for what is a fairly big, bustling town in comparison to others.... Had to get creative.

Our office now.


Clarendon Arms, Evandale.

More importantly the wine arrives !!

This morning's office was the Bream Creek farmers market on a cool and misty morning. To get there, a 45 min drive through some bucolic countryside around Nugent



The site of the market is also charming



But the monthly market itself was a huge disappointment. It's got a great name, but it must be too early in the season. Not a patch on the humble Evandale Market @drron . Struggled to buy a couple of chutnies etc.

Mine now

I was very disappointed in the Evandale markets ! Didn't buy a thing, won't be back, but did go into a shop opposite the hotel that I bought a bracelet at last time I was down - they are going to get me the matching ear rings

We have picked up a few collectables from the stalls in the hall on various visits.

Still playing catch up with my office from last week:

Barron Gorge:


Barron River:

Kuranda, Queensland

If you’ve just eaten, or get queasy easily… feel free to skip over this post.

With the warning done, on to some signs from my recent FNQ trip.

First, an ice cream shop that closes before it opens:



In Kuranda, this chocolate shop has the right idea.



Now I know what you’re thinking, nothing in those photos to make me feel ill. And you’re right.

Last chance to bail out…

Okay, your were warned. Twice.

Next is the Japanese restaurant at the Kuranda markets.



Pretty much any other reason for beating closed is better than a sick chef, surely?

And finally the bubble tea kiosk where the bloke serving had his bare feet up on the counter and was cutting his toe nails.

Makes you wonder what’s in the bubble tea… especially that last flavour on the right?

Is Woolworth selling drrons now?

Arriving back to the house after dinner tonight to a colourful cloud.

He was a one off, partially trained/untrained, so not a woolies line they would be able to retail for a profit.

Yes but we get two for the price of one on AFF!

I'm leading a history excursion on the weekend, so today's office was a bit of a recce to make sure all the tracks were accessible after the rain we've had.

Well, this creek's up a bit. coughy passed me by with a dead sheep on the back, going for burial. he stopped for a chat for a while while I held my breath!



Can't walk the group through that, so plan B:



View over the farm, with old convict bridge I've shown before. Spring lamb. Yum!





And a bit further along. Convict-built, c1843



coughy had a dog in training. He was doing a lot more running than the dog!






Another segment of the old convict road:



One of the lovely old colonial homesteads in the area, c1842:
