Day 11 - Eisvold - Wednesday 8th May 2024
A day of rest spent in cattle country - allegedly the cattle capital of the region/the State ?? Ironic given that Beef Week is on in Rockhampton at the moment so they probably have that claim, and Primex is on in Casino (NSW) in two weeks and they probably lay claim to that title too!
Plenty of cattle sponsorship of this centre though - reminded me of Rocco!
The day started a bit cool which was slightly disconcerting. I cooked our first breakfast fry up for this trip on our lovely outdoor kitchen and we did enjoy breakfast outside. The sun eventually came out and we lounged around with coffee and our books until lunchtime. We took a quick trip into the tiny town of Eidsvold, the bare minimum of services but two pubs of course! One even had a visit from this collection of vintage cars!
The lady in the supermarket was keen to hear I was from Tassie and told me at length how much she enjoyed her visit down there a couple of years ago. I love how Tassie is such a talking point everywhere!
After lunch, we walked through the museum here and enjoyed the many stories and artefacts from RM Williams. He certainly did a lot in his 95 years of life, and his family still run the farm here in Eidsvold. Once the sun set, both Greg and I this time, went to watch the Light and Sound Show. We had plenty of company tonight - compared to when it was only me (and the mozzies) watching it last night.
Thankfully the wind has dropped tonight, although I did cook indoors given how windy it had been which makes cooking outside much harder. We have four other vans in here tonight keeping us company. A great spot - highly recommend a visit.
