MARYROSE02 Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 I was thinking, maybe pick an Outback Queensland town, and spend a week there, stay in a pub, not a motel, and become a (sort of) local. You know, have a coffee every morning/arvo in a cafe, meal and beer in the pub each night. go little trips out from the town each day. I must admit, that usually on road trips, I keep moving on, each day, despite it being wearing, packing and repacking, always driving, though on my own, I like to stop at every town I come to. I still have not been north of Gympie, so I don't know your part of Australia. I was looking at my old road atlas (bought in Coffs Harbour 27 October 1991 - that was a good trip with my parents too, Sydney to Grafton, then west to Glen Innes, south to Dubbo, back to Sydney in a week.) What would it be like to spend a week in Emerald, say? You could go back via the coast to make it a circular route? The town I particularly liked in Queensland was St George where I stayed for a night at the Cobb and Co Hotel. I had a room opening out onto the balcony, which was part of my Aussie experience. I did the same thing in Goondiwindi. There's something I like about those huge, wide, balconies that sometimes cover the pavement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wattsy1982 Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Cheap flight to Adelaide and then go explore the Barossa Valley, take in all the wineries etc. There are cycle tours between them too. Weather is great down there this time of year, not too hot yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
