Stanthorpe, Balancing Rocks And a Cool Chook

Stanthorpe, not much to say for Ozzie warmth other than it was cold again, our Aunty of senior years saying to us 2025 has been one of the coldest and wettest years she can remember, my head cold still not letting go it was extremely nice to be given a room a fireplace etc.

Nick and Mary Jane were extremely nice people and welcomed us in like long lost family proving yet again that 99.9% of people in the world are still good honest people.

There is a famous Gin distilery (Conrads) which Nick forced us to go too...and made us have some samples etc, the place was coolas with a sidecar theme, turns out the owner is a Ural nutta too.

Nick and Mary Jane unfortunately had a passing of a close friend just prior to us landing at their place so we helped run their block with two cows, one chicken and a Golden Retriever in conjunction with their Kiwi neighbour Dave.

Domestic duties with Ginger taking us for a walk.

We met a bunch of BMW riders, some with Urals at a ride we were invited to, again ex Kiwis it was great meeting them and having a yarn.

Gireween National Park, balancing boulders which are well cool, we did a lot of walks and with my headcold still draining my energy some accents were slow going however we did manage to summit the walks and getting out an breathing deep was a great help.

Photo time.

Girraween National Park was excellent, so many cool spot and balancing rocks, we could kill the rocks with pixel poisoning ...

Finishing Stanthorpe and handing over the place to Dave the Kiwi we headed to Inverell to catch up with Wayne and Kristy, Ural rider extraordinaires we met in Tasmania.
