Of course we were too early! Not enough rain to encourage the fields of wild flowers we had been used to seeing. And just when we had visitors from China willing and able to drive miles and miles (klms.) in our language. Serious business really for two days and then a bit of relaxation at the Sandstone Resort...the choices for food at the pub were..deep fried or crumbed fish and chips...deep fried fish and chips...deep fried and battered chicken and chips or deep fried and battered what ever and chips. The imagination out there is....non-existent? Perhaps. However a good bottle of red wine helped it all down. Our Chinese visitors didn't drink alcohol...'We will get drunk!' So...in Australia everyone gets drunk! Don't they?
Yes! It is a rock! In anyone's language. You like? You can have. Luckily for some the lady in pink had been flown to Perth to interpret for the two Chinese gentlemen.
Pity about the early morning temperature...lovely sunrise but 0* degrees ...hat and coat weather.
But there is no traffic congestion...no need to leave Sandstone early to miss the traffic.
Metal is the building material of choice...the white ants won't eat the walls...and it is light to transport.
Or so it was in the late 19th century. Who said we don't have anything 'OLD' in Australia?
