Low Expectations Road Trip - Kilkivan for Lunch

The Cemetery and Chimney are both outside of town and as we drove into Kilkivan I realised it was definitely a one street town, still left a lovely impression on me, as did our lunch at the Continental House. The owner was a lovely German man who served us up a huge plate of hot yummy German food! It definitely seemed odd that this town has less than a handful of eating places, one being a pub and one being the Continental House. If you're planning a road trip yourself, it's next door to the overpriced antiques store and well worth the visit :)






By the way, at this point in our trip Ben and I realised we were the only couple under 50 embarking through the countryside but hey, that's how we roll :p

Low Expectations Road Trip - Kilkivan Chimney

After the Cemetery we reached the Kilkivan Copper Smelter. Now it's no Chillagoe but it was cool none the less and meant we got to drive past some nice scenery too!







Spot the birdies!

Low Expectations Road Trip - Kilkivan Cemetry

So we started our low expectations road trip by heading north west to a country town called Kilkivan. Kilkivan is about an hour and 45 minutes from the Sunshine Coast and promised, a copper mine smelter, a continental house for lunch and possible a historical museum. The historical museum got traded for the Kilkivan Cemetery which we stumbled upon on our way to the shelter, 11km outside of town. Ben and I cannot resist a good country Cemetery...enjoy!
