Outback Queensland
It's been a while since the last blog entry. There is a bit missing when we stayed in Sydney at Easter, headed north to Mullumbimby for a couple of weeks, and then turned west once we hit Queensland. In southern Queensland we visited the Girraween National Park where they have some cool rounded volcanic hills. I climbed this one. Safety chains haven't made it to this part of Queensland - just some painted lines to show the way. And a great view from the top! Goondiwindi Show We also stopped in at Goodiwindi just in time for their annual show. They had all the usual stuff such as rose competitions where almost everyone wins a prize. The most popular event is the Camp Draft with about 240 entrants. I found a nice old bloke who explained the rules to help me out. My summary... (1) Line up on your horse and watch the others for 30-45 minutes. Preferred headwear is an Akubra but helmets are permitted. (2) Enter the pen and select the calf you want to chase from the dozen or so
