Plain Creek, Charters Towers






We left Townsville mid morning after getting new passenger door lock for Catherine's car which continues to go like a dream. What a fabulous trip that car is giving us. Just couldn't be doing half the things we're doing without it . Arrived Plain Creek ( 80,000 acre cattle property ) 100 or so km south of Charters Towers by mid afternoon . A booming little town Charters Towers has become and very different from the day Mary and Robyn visited the cottage hospital there 35 years ago following an O/D on mangoes !
1 M with Cammo ( Reid & Robyn' 2nd son ) and his fiancee Carmen and son Mattie.
2 Mattie found his way into our tent and was much at home there. Note Cammo lighting the barbecue.
3 M shovelling sand from the creek by the cattle yards 12 km or so from the homestead prior to mixing cement.
4 M digging out an old wooden post in the yards prior to pouring cement for installation of new metal posts.
5 M with Cammo and Shady after completion of project. Hope some positive contribution from G & M , but not certain.
