Ballina RSL

We were delighted to find this place when we stopped for a cuppa. There were other places in the town but this one was cool and had a great view of the inlet. To top it off this place had the best collection of Services memorabilia that we have ever seen in an RSL. We share some of what was there.

Arabica Cafe Good-bye

This was a perfect way to say a special good-bye to Barb's Mum. Even on a hot and humid day the Arabica Café at Cleveland has enough shade to compensate well.

B'n'B Community

We had a fantastic time at a Brisbane B'n'B with family coming and going. There were some late nights when love and laughter abounded. The pictures show only a sample of us. Such super memories. Two 500 piece puzzles were done as well.

Adora Downs Wedding

This is why Adora Downs is booked out for about 18 months. Couples have to plan long engagements in order to access a wedding experience like this one. This place does not have static online site but it seems that they don't have to, such is their popularity. Adora Downs used to be a sheep station, converted for wedding events. The sheering shed has become the reception centre, dining room and what ever else. The is a huge variety of accommodation for all the guests, even a number of railway carriages. There is an indoor chapel in case of rain or different taste. Quite an experience for all who came.

Adora Downs

This remarkable place is full or old farm 'art' and random accommodation for guests and in its unique combination leaves everybody with a real rustic and rural experience. Part of this experience is learning to cope with the millions of very friendly flies and persistent mosquitoes. Fortunately there was a reasonable breeze or it would have been a bit tough. But the trials were worth it against what Agora Downs offered as hosts. The food was amazing and plenty of it. The cost ($155 for each of us for the weekend) was great considering the food, pool, bedding, and the rest. Those who had alcohol (on their tab) did have to pay on top of this but we heard that the extra amount was not over the top. Adora Downs is booked ahead for about one and half years so it is very popular indeed.

Jerilderie Memorial Park

These  are things we saw and stopped to 'snap' them for memory sake. That's what tourists do when they have cameras and no time to sketch them.
