Bunya Mountains

We have just had a lovely weekend in the Bunya Mountains (about 3 and half hours north west of Brisbane) to celebrate Mum's 60th birthday.

We headed off on Sat morning and stopped off in Toowoomba on route for lunch and to give the girls a bit of a run in the park. This is where Mum was raised and it brought back lots of memories of childhood visits to the grandparents.

The Bunyas were great. Stephen was impressed by the drive out there with the long, straight roads (some still untarmaced) and very dry countryside. We drove through some real one horse towns - some without even a local pub!

We stayed in a lovely four bedroom house with fireplace and pool table and a lovely view over the valley. There were wallabies everywhere, many with a joey in their pouch.

On Sunday we did a lovely 4.4 km walk - Maddie walked the whole way! That evening we went our for dinner to celebrate.

So a lovely weekend. The nights and early mornings were very cool but we had beautiful warm days. Thinking of it as a possible location for our Xmas in July as it has even been known to snow!!
