I went to the Toowoomba Carnival of Flowers yesterday, and took a look at Spring Bluff on the way home. I think these photo's tell the story. QR did a fantastic job, working 24/7 to get it open again. It was a massive job. So much rock a soil had to be brought in. Murphy's Creek is below here. -- Edited by Beth...

Cameron's Auto Electrical, 13 Railway Street, Kalbar - 5463 7619 - good service, good advice and good pricing - reliable and mobile if needed in the area.

Interesting visitor today while fishing, circled the boat for about 10 minutes, the boat was 5.25 meter stacer runabout, this fellow was all of 5 meters, liked the shiney prop and not more than a kilometer from middleton beach in Albany cheers blaze

If you are in this area - and need a mechanic, go see Brad Gnech, Deegan Road, Boonah - off the Rathdowney Road, near the transfer station. Great mechanic - good service with a smile, and exceptionally good pricing.

I am surprised at the amount of vanners out here in the back blocks, comming & going in all directions. Its good to see that we dont all favour the coast, this way the small town get some of the trade as well. Currently at Bourke, head towards Broken Hill tomorrow ,then to Menindee & the flinders....

Gunning is a nice small town in NSW that provides a camping spot free. Apretty spot right on the bank of a creek & right in town. Flush toilets & cold showers. Signposted as 48 hrs but I was told by a local that this is not rigidly enforced if the area is not busy.
