visit near Western Queensland

Some weeks ago I was required to travel to Chinchilla and Tara in close 

Western Qld for work.

It's a 1&1/2 hour drive to Toowoomba. We had morning tea here.

another hour to Dalby where we filled up with petrol..

And then another hour's drive to Chinchilla.   Cotton drifts along the roadside

from the cotton fields

Lunch in the main street of Chinchilla, a quick meeting a the hospital

Then a trip to the town's premier Saddlery.

I haven't seen this selection of boots since we visited Texas.

A fabulous choice of shirts for the cowgirls around town.

It was back in the car then for our final leg of the trip to Tara, just another hour down the road.

Dinner at the pub; we went with the steak.

Before retiring to the boudoir for the night. 

If you're ever in Tara, I can recommend the Tara Spa 

Motel Apartments.

They're pet friendly. You can even take your fish on holiday. Every amenity and they can make new friends. (The resident fish are in this giant bowl. Even fish food is provided)  

The main street was a little quiet the next morning at 9.00 am when we drove to our series of meetings at the School.
