We made 29
Well as he keeps saying "You get less for murder" but we finally made it to 29 years but who's counting LOL. This milestone was reached in a little town called "Dingo" somewhere west of Rockhampton and on the way to Blackwater. The town has a pop of 200 with one shop, one servo and one pub. The tourist information is at the library, which was closed so they could go to rocky to buy a book !!!!, Lunch at the pub was over when we arrived at 1.15 !!!!! but the shop was open. Everyone in the town is either working at the saw mill or one of the many mines around here and a fair few of them live here at the park.

We contacted Walker in Blackwater and he came down to help us celebrate our anniversary by taking out for dinner to the most expensive place in town - THE PUB. Our first impression was the bar service, I sat and watched Ron moving from leg to leg while he waited for service - two bar staff and 10 customers - ten minutes to get served. A fuming Ron arrived back at the table saying something re sacking said staff LOL. Dinner - when we sat down in the "restaurant" the table in front was leaving muttering something along the lines of "the worst fish ever" and "how can somebody do that to a fish" not a good start. So it was the Rib eye for Ron and the Rump with pepper sauce for me. When the meals arrived they looked ok, but just as I was about to cut into my steak the waitress whipped the plate from under me and explained that "CHEF" had forgot to put the pepper in the pepper sauce !!!!!!!!!!! a quick turn of the pepper grinder soon fixed that LOL - Vue De Dingo it ain't.

Yesterday we set off to do Blackdown Tablelands and the pic above is one of the obstacles encountered on the trip. I will post more pics of that in the next couple of days.

Happy anniversary and good luck for the next 29 years. Shame about your celebration dinner, but its the same with relationships, after 29 years the meat is still here but the pepper has gone
