our travels: NANANGO

Thought I had better update our last two days here at Nanango as we move on in the morning and not sure if we can get Internet service. I really don't want to have to do another week of 'catching up' as the old brain doesn't like to be taxed too much!

So we have had two days at Nanango in a great little caravan park called Twin Gums. The owner/operator Marion, would have to be the nicest, helpful lady I have ever come across in a caravan park. Nothing was a problem.....we could arrive when we wanted.....usually the times are in by Lunch time...out by Ten in the morning....but not here!

The park is in a bushland setting, but close enough to walk into town. There are Lorikeets to feed ( the same birds we fed at Urunga with the bunnies), the Kangaroos come in about dusk, sorry I couldn't get the camera quick enough.

Yesterday we went into Kingaroy where all the peanuts and navy beans (baked beans) are grown. I thought we may have been able to go on a tour through the 'nut factory' 😋 but alas you can't, but they did have a very informative presentation at the tourist info centre.

Peanut Company Australia...

My camera was unable to capture all of the silos, but they really do make an impressive site towering above Kingaroy. Queensland grows 98% of the nuts in Australia.

This was just too cute....

Just part of the displays about nuts and how they transported back in the days.

Ed found someone to yak to but she wasn't listening.....typical woman he reckons!

Today we went to see a house I read about called Ringfield House.

Now I just love all things old.....especially houses! The way they were built back then just makes them so impressive.

Sorry if I bore you here but I couldn't get enough of the place and its history.

This is the entrance hall to this beautiful Queenslander. In my opinion, the Queenslander is the most beautiful house ever built here in Oz.

This next photo is the impressive master bedroom.....

The dining room has the original restored side board that was built-in to the wall when the house was built back in 1908. Really photos don't do any of it justice.....but I have it in my memories......
