We chose to head for Killarney which would put us in touch with several places to explore, but along the way we had a GPS incident. It turned us onto a road which bore signs saying “NOT SUITABLE FOR BUSES, TRUCKS,CARAVANS. Panic – narrowing country road – where to turn ? – finally we found somewhere and backtracked to join the safer Cunningham Highway– climbing up an 8deg incline-3rd gear came in handy ! Remember – in doing this we are climbing the foothills of the Great Dividing Range and as a consequence the views were divine.

Killarney Holiday Park was set in green parkland, surrounded by mountains, paddocks containing stock, (we woke in the morning to the cattle lowing) and I was in my seventh heaven. It caused me to realise that “you can take the girl out of the country – but you can’t take the country out of the girl”
We checked out the nearby mountains and their many facets, walked in to waterfalls and drove around THE GREAT DIVIDING RANGE ! I was fascinated at one part of beautiful high country as the road meandered through and the cattle were grazing at will – there were no fences. At Carr’s Lookout we took photos of the rolling hills and valleys stretching to the largest mountain range in southern Queensland. Magnificent.

We visited and enjoyed the beautiful town of Warwick and took more photos of some of the lovely buildings e.g. the Post Office and Queenslander style homes and visited the railway restoration workshop.
