Sunday 7th July
Weather is partially sunny, cloudy and windy. Clive went to Mass at St. Joseph's this morning. He said that it was a lovely church with a very mixed community. A lot of Asians - whether these are seasonal workers or what who knows. After Mass he did a drive around the town. Not a lot to see here but he did discover a large water tank with a mural dedicated to both Aboriginal and white women. The time line went through achievements of women through time, so he took plenty of photos of that. The mural is divided into sections and you can read the plaque and then relate to the picture on the tank. Well worth a visit. He then went to Greycliffe Homestead. This homestead was home to the Nott family who were district pioneers. This Historic Slab Homestead was built in approximately 1870 and was resited in Biloela from Greycliffe Station. Apart from that we had to listen to one of the neighbours swearing his head off. This carried on throughout the afternoon and into evening. We were meant to be here for three days but have decided to head to Cania Gorge tomorrow as at least there will be plenty of walking tracks to keep Clive busy as there really is nothing of note here. Clive also discovered a free camp at the information centre where you can park up for 48 hours. Turned cold in the afternoon with gusty winds. Bring back the sunshine, but I see that they are having strong winds and seas on the Gold Coast too with plenty of beach erosion.
