I was the driver for our scenic route down to Queen Mary Falls, cos Nick had done three night shifts and was quite worn. We'd chosen a spa cabin in a small caravan park, just across from the falls.
It was a good choice. The cabin had a bush setting, accessed by a separate driveway, away from the sites.
Nick napped in the afternoon and I sat quietly, watching the birds and little roos.
Our nightly possum visitor was a high-light of our stay!
There was an early-ish gentle bushwalk to view Queen Mary Falls, on our first morning - followed by local mooching and a pub lunch.
Afternoon/evening rain didn't dampen our spirits. We dined wonderfully well. Even worked out enough reception for a Spotify soundtrack. There was a round of Scrabble afterwards.
Such heavy rain made for excellent waterfalls!
I'd prepped Asian Noodle salad prior to departure and split the dry shredded cabbage and sliced shallots into two containers.
The dressing was packed seperately in a small jar. I used half quantities of pine nuts and noodles each night - which worked well.
I don't generally use our home microwave for cooking. Mobile reception was quite limited at the cabin.
If I sat the phone in the right place, I was able to check how to microwave corn in its husk.
I'd planned to BBQ the meats but given wet weather, it was easier to use the electric pan inside. I cooked zucchini at the same time.
None of my cheffing was particularly tricky but we both really appreciated my efforts. And yes, my anniversary frippery helped!
We took bubbles and a favourite red wine with us - along with a Stanthorpe dessert wine, purchased the previous year, on Valentines Day!
