I shall finish this trip with this one. It is also taken at Nobby. It is Dad and Dave's Historic Rudds Pub. It is in Steele Rudd Country. Across the road is a free camp spot and there were eight vans in there when we came past. Renovations are being done to the pub. It has new owners. We are having two nights at Toowoomba and probably a couple of nights at Bauple meeting up with the Wide Bay Wanderers Group at Bauple before coming home.
Took a drive to Killarney and here we visited Daggs Falls. At Killarney the mountain is falling away from floods two years ago and they're just starting on it to fix it up. We encountered the same thing on the road from Coffs Harbour to Glen Innes. The mountain road was half a road on the mountain and boy it looked dangerous! Killarney has an Abbatoir.As we drove through to Allora and Toowoomba we crossed red water flowing in creeks and we had to detour. When we stopped at road works we were told they were fixing up the Toowoomba Road.
This is the glass houses that grow tomatoes hydroponically at Guyra. It is one of the few sites in the world conducive to year round tomato growing.Twenty hectares of Blush glasshouse in the temperate Guyra climate means Blush currently produces more than 12 million kilograms of premium truss tomatoes per annum, delivering year round consistency in terns of quality, flavour and availability. Guyra has the best combination of cool summers and high winter light to produce the best tasting tomatoes is at 1,330 metres altitude. It has less than two days over 30oC per year on average.It has a council that supports the Glasshouse and has a community that support the Glasshouse.

This is the Billabong Koala and Wildlife Park at Port Macquarie. Here we saw koalas, kangaroos, monkeys, monster crocodile, endangered snow leopards, emus and a brogla. We did the talk with the zoo keeper at the monkeys, then went and did the snow leopard talk with the keeper and lastly did the talk with the zoo keeper with the koalas. They were lovely. I even patted a dingo.
