I noticed the address on the back of a tin of International Roast was up in Gympie so i battled the holiday traffic and drove up on Friday night and took this pic from a paddock on the north side of the plant.

On Saturday morning i drove out to the remains of an old Copper Smelter in the scrub near Kilkivan.

Late Saturday as i drove back through Gympie on my way south again i stopped and captured the historic old Mary Valley Steam Train returning to Gympie.

On Sunday Morning i drove over towards Jimna and camped the night then on Monday i took a detour down through Monsildale and captured a rural landscape looking nice and green after the recent rains.

all up about 1100 Kms travelled.

Well.... you try and keep a supply of freshly roasted and ground coffee up to BR, and see how long you last.

I think he has been known to pack 3 thermos's of coffee for a day before :shock: :mrgreen:

And that is a very fancy chimney too

thanks Sue ...
wish i had more time to find a better site and sun direction on the train though :roll:
would have been a great spot with the train going the other way ... much nicer colour and framed by an old wooden bridge.
