She used to be allergic to em, but she may have grown out of it. I'll ask her tomorrow. Would be good to entertain her as she'll be sick of me after a few weeks.
Where's that engine Tony?
Highfields Pioneer Village.
Little place near Toowoomba, about hour and a bit West of Brissy.
Bloke has been collecting stuff for years, bulldozers, cars, trucks, model T's,
Has a room floor to ceiling with old radios, he bought and moved a church.
Most of it is rusting away, the rest looks like Steptoes yard. I feel at home there.

Similar sort of stuff in a smaller place at Stanthorpe where I'm staying over Easter...

We have something similar here called The heritage village. Heaps of old gear, everything from steam rollers to old bikes, blacksmiths gear, old buildings etc etc
Yeah, I did that the same weekend as the caves.
Well worth a look.
Some of the stuff in the hospital / surgery makes you think not everything was better then!
A couple more from Bald Rock / Girraween near Ballendean where we go on a weekend...
(about 3 hours South / West of Brissy)

This is the view from a cafe I use for breakfast.
Marycairns Cross Park near Maleny looking at the Glass House Mountains.
Just over an hour North of Brissy.

I pass a little spot called "Natural Arch" when I head down into NSW some weekends.
It's behind Nerang / The Gold Coast.
It was a small waterfall that created a cave behind the waterfall, then the roof caved in,
now it's a waterfall into cave. Not huge but worth a look.
It takes balls to jump in through the hole as you can't see in until your already jumping!
Last time I went...

Some awesome pics there Tony, thanks.
Cool, I was hoping that was what you liked, in that case, try some of this stuff:
You're going to miss the Winter Nationals with the top fuellers, but there's still this: http://www.willowbankraceway.com.au/...ventGroupID=92
Brisbane; this is always worth a look to get a taste of Brisbane: https://www.visitbrisbane.com.au/south-bank
Then on the Gold Coast, avoid Surfers Paradise and all that tourist shit and head inland about 20mins:
Pick out the stuff that tickles you from here: http://www.tamborinemtncc.org.au/thi...rine-mountain/
Take a trip out to O'Reilly's (some of the originbal settlers and loggers): http://www.oreillys.com.au/
Take a drive up and around Lower Beechmont:

After living on the Coast for nearly 20 years, these are the places that get the biggest reactions from friends that have come over.
Also it's a shame you'll miss Cooly Rocks, but here's some other events on while you're here:

Thanks again Tony and Gix11. I'm sorry guys I can't seem to reply to your messages with a reply message, so I'll have to do it on this thread, unless it's confidential?
Yes I do like military stuff, especially armour and aircraft. Not sure what my daughter will do while I'm enjoying myself though. Attending some drag races, especially Pro Stock and Top Fuel bikes will be a real nostalgia trip.
Thanks again Tony, that's an excellent list.
dont forget the west coast we are cool people too
