Spring Bluff: pancakes, history and a walk.
Just thought I would do a quick post on one of my favourite local locations, the old Spring Bluff railway station. Just a short drive out of Toowoomba to the scenic railway on the range, its like stepping back in time with the heritage listed station and its magnificent gardens and surrounds. The original station … Continue reading Spring Bluff: pancakes, history and a walk.

Book snap Sunday: a book photo meme.
https://www.instagram.com/p/B1AeukTA8Xh/ I used to be really engaged with book blogging, for a few reasons that fell by the wayside; at the time I worked with organisations that frowned on social media use.

Places can have a weird effect on you and sometimes a place from your past can feel uncomfortable, I spent several years of my childhood in the region and I had not … Continue reading The Mystery Craters!
