Nick's been looking forward to using his Gladstone bag and toiletries case, so appreciated a chance to road-trip out to Dalby! We took our time getting organised on Thursday morning and arrived around lunchtime. After a very nice cafe lunch, we checked in to our motel room and then spent the rest of the afternoon and early evening with lovely new friends.
Nick and Ann met online via a song-writing group but it was great to meet in person. We were treated to afternoon tea and then they played guitar. Both sang some of their original songs. And then we picked lots of mulberries, still chatting all the time.
We checked out on Friday morning, had a huge brekkie at a nearby cafe (where we'd lunched on Thursday) and then looked at all the op-shops in town. As usual, we found a few bargains. I was happy with some remnants - including a $1.00 linen tea-toweling piece.
Although we have visited Dalby a couple of times, we hadn't seen much of the larger township so drove around a bit (and found a cache) before heading back toward home.
There were a couple of detours along the way. Oakey was a longer stop, cos their op-shops were also open - happy days!
We enjoyed a late lunch cheese platter in the park, where we've stopped previously.
There was a cool breeze and we could see a little of the creek, so we lingered for a while before packing up and driving the last stretch back home.
