you got to wonder where 100 years of gold went to......although its a very pretty town, there's no sign of gold now
view of the open cut mine
main street......near one of the many hotels, I guess these trees got plenty of overnight "watering" over the years
the billy was full of beer and used similar to a baton in a relay and went from pub to pub, the quickest runner and drinker would win if still standing, this tradition is now an annual event in the town.
In the early mining days one of the young guys was sent to get the beer at the end of the day. He had to run along the edge of the cut mine and back again.
no 7 dam, beautiful picnic area
pretty old, but not so pretty
one of the many hotels in the town
looks like a picture, a perfect building, still impressive
a visit to the Capricorn caves, north of Rockhampton
statues like this are everywhere around this place, they love their bulls
time to leave after a very pleasant relaxing week
