Miles away ...

I became aware of Possum Park's bunker cabins soon after our relocation to Queensland, praps during our first trip to Dalby in 2017.  

We almost got there as an extension to our anniversary splurge but cancelled due to the lockdown weekend.  Once that was over, we booked again to stay four nights - and then added an extra night after arrival. 

There was no menu planning or pre-cooked meals this trip.  The extent of my prepping was to pack several small containers of my porridge blend for a few breakfasts.  

We shopped in Miles at the butcher and food market for some groceries to last the first three nights, then topped up provisions during our stay.  

The bunker had a full kitchen and we dined well from our joint cheffing.  Although we took a small picnic case, we hadn't packed our stove, kettle or a thermos - and it was pretty hot - so we came back to the bunker for lunches, tea/coffee (and afternoon naps)! 

We really enjoyed our stay away from the world.  (We slept in till after 10:00am on our first morning due to the bunker being so quiet and dark)! Our non-Telstra phones didn't have reception on site, so weren't a distraction.  

The TV stayed off and we played Scrabble several nights. When not winning Scrabble (!), Nick played his guitar - and wrote a new song. It was a very laid-back time, which we really appreciated. (There was some exploring but I'll post of those outings separately).
