faFFing around - The Tour de SEQ - photo & fun heavy
fletty & FenceFurniture embark upon a short shed tour of South East Queensland. Anything could happen. This time we will have an empty trailer with us. :; It better not be empty by the time we get home.*
The faFF Tour de SEQ will commence next Thursday 10th May.
We'll probably head up to Coffs Harbour for the first night, and stay with a well known daughter. Then, up to Casino, across to Stanthorpe for a squiz at the Granite Belt, on to Warwick and across to Millmerran to stay with Bushmiller for Friday night. Paul has very kindly, although possibly naively, asked me this arvo if we were staying Saturday night as well. "Best ask your wife on Saddy morning mate". He may live to regret that, or indeed it may be revoked. There is talk of «a number» of bottles of red. Starting to sound like plural.
From there we are going across to Brissie where IanW has been equally kind (and silly - he's been warned) enough to offer us accommodation. UnFortunately his better half won't be on hand to keep things approaching under control. There is talk of «a number» of bottles of red. Starting to sound like plural again.
* faFF have just returned from a minor incursion up to Coffs and across to Moree. We were invited to drive a 3 tonne truck from CH to M full of furniture, unload it, pay for our drinks, return the empty truck to Coffs, and then home.
The problem is that it stayed empty. Despite out best efforts to locate Saw mills in the Grafton/Coffs area we only turned up one so far in Bonville, a little south of Coffs. Even then they really only produce landscaping grade stuff, up to 200x50. All green of course, but that's not so bad - we can get it put into a kiln in Sydney.
All the calls we made seemed to lead back to the same lady (although on different numbers). "YOU AGAIN!" was becoming a familiar refrain. It would seem that the mills are all either aggregating, being taken over, or going out of business.

One of the mental notes made was a turn-off to "Boundary Falls" and that was good enough for us. None of our incursions were going to be of any great duration, so the penetration into the parks was always going to be shallow, but nonetheless worthwhile.

Our timing for arriving here was immaculate, and I believe fletty has a pic that will explain that. It has nothing to do with the Hot 4 that farted its way to park next to us, from which baseball caps at goofy angles sprouting coils of hair emerged. (sotto voce to fletty "Dickhead alert!")
