My little bush retreat
Bony Mountain is on the Darling Downs-20 mns from Warwick- an historical town -with an old history. Tales of Houdini! who performed here in the old Theatre-where the origin of the Federal Police began- where Cunningham discovered the beautiful valleys & the Condamine river-many old Sandstone buildings- great shops & restaurants -a fine town. I love Warwick, so much happening- Sandy Creek hosts a National -Go Kart track! Bony Mountain has National Polocrosse events - our Bony Mountain Folk Festival- Warwick has Jumpers & Jazz- every winter- a fabulous Celtic Festival- National Polocrosse- Morgan Park Raceway- and of course the famous Warwick Rodeo- I love Queensland .
My environmentalist hat!
I have always been a tree nut, guess I got that from my Dad, who planted many wonderful fruit trees-grape vines- made his own wine! My childhood was enjoying all that amazing fresh fruit-straight off the trees, Our old Clydesdale was one of my childhood mates! along with our calf, some ducks, our dog & the cats! So a lifetime of loving animals! This old photo of me in the Mildura Ladies race- on Redmetus- my own horse- who I owned/trained/ and rode-finished second! I worked as a Jillaroo in the Riverina for a few years! Loved TBs -went to Picnic race meetings nearly every weekend! Chased cattle the rest of the time! Bob Adams was an old Bullocky- Grace Adams -a very special Lady who encouraged my Poetry- & music! All this seems so long ago!
