Chinchilla Cemetery

The other week I got to do something super fun - visit Ben at work! His job means he can be away for 6+ weeks at a time but then he'll have big periods of being at home too :) Normally he works in the middle of the desert but this time he was only 4 hours away - road trip time! I only stayed a couple of nights but I still look back on the trip with super happy thoughts:) I brought along my camera when I went to explore the local cemetery - which is today's post.  The rest of the time, I did laps of the pool, read books, napped and explored the town - it was amazing! Simple things, guys.  As for the cemetery, it did not disappoint with plenty of country town charm :) Oh and not to be too morbid but the thought of having cactus grow on my grave is pretty appealing!

On the drive home, I not only got to stop at the awesome vegan bakery I visited on my b'day, I also chanced upon this rad vintage playground in Murgon!

I'm sadly not normally one for doing things on a whim but I'm trying to live my life not so forward/routine focused and this trip was amazing for that *highfive* to myself :P

Day 7 - Campbell Town

Campbell town is known for its historical red bridge (I think) we got there just as the sun was setting and used the remaining light feeding some ducks and utilising their free campground. The ducks were utterly scary, well the big guy anyway, you can probably pick him out from the pics below. A random lovely boy gave me a bag full of bread at the same time Ben had left, to get more bread from our van. Me alone with food and aggressive ducks isn't good. Ben took over the bread feeding when he returned to my cries of help and I learnt that perhaps the ducks weren't really that aggressive after all, they were actually super cute :)

We left Campbell town just as the sun rose for our final full day of excitement!!!

Day 7 - Hobart

We arrived in Hobart and by chance also on a Saturday morning which meant we could go to the Salamanca markets, definite an upside to powering through the itinerary quickly! We had already seen so much awesomeness on our trip that Hobart wasn't able to convince us it was the coolest place in Tasmania it was definitely a sweet city and probably deserved more time than we gave it. The markets were as good as a market could be, we ate tastiness and discovered a new band, Mangus, whose cd provided much merriment for the rest of our trip :)
