I am trying to work out why on earth would you stay there 6 months when its that bad. Definitely a place to avoid.
You could have gone many other places for much cheaper than that and less stress.

I agree with Happy Wanderer... what made you stay so long?

Yes Gerty Dancer 6 months is a heck of a long time to stay in once place that is so bad and you don't like, unless you were being held captive.

Sorry to hear that percy. Wouldn't staying there cause her more stress and not help her get better. I know it would me, but my daughter says I stress over nothing.

Hi Percy,
It's always good to hear about places such as these. Fore-warned is fore-armed as they say, and if someone doesn't tell us about them how do we find out? I really hope your wife is fully-recovered now, and that you are both enjoying yourselves in beef-capital, Rockhampton.
Cheers,
Romy.

I just read an article in a magazine about Allies Creek and had no idea where it was other than in Qld. Google did not reveal anything specific either.
Thank you Percy for solving the problem for me.
I sincerely hope your wife is back in good health by now and you are enjoying your travels together again.

I don't know why people go on about people using capital letters and calling it 'shouting'. Yes, I know that's what they say it is in IT, but hey, they're just words that this person feels strongly about. I'm with you goinsoon. As far as I'm concerned, shout all you like about treatment like that, Percy. I think I would be too.

All this political correctness really annoys me, goinsoon. Truly, it does. There is just too much intolerance in this world.

Yes it is Romy, a Scotch Thistle which is a surprisingly beautiful flower in bloom. Shame it is a pest otherwise.
It is one of a number of photos I took of the flowers in November last year at Cooyar north of Toowoomba in Qld.
Driving north up the New England highway from Toowoomba there were fields and fields of them...a very beautiful sight.

It's very pretty, Boroma. I'm interested in macro photography, but with it, a lot of things look totally different up close. I thought your pic was a flower, but couldn't be sure. When we toured western Queensland, out around the Quilie/Windorah area, we used to see paddock upon paddock of large and small clumps of pretty white flowers. I don't know what they were, but they were so beautiful en masse like that.

I love macro shooting, the tiniest thing can look quiet beautiful.
Have a little look at this one....very pretty and yet it is a common old dandelion.
Maybe we should have a thread dedicated to macro pics!!

Me too! And I would love to see a thread dedicated to macro photography - how about it, Cindy?
I love the petals on the dandelion - they almost look transparent, and such a pretty colour - very summery. If I can work out how to post a photo again (since the Seeing red competition has finished, I haven't posted any photos of late! ) I will do so with a couple of my favourite macros.
Well, that didn't work - help please.

Sorry Romy - should have said "submit post" at bottom - near upload files box - works for me anyway
