I am currently in Tara, a small rural town in Queensland with a population of approximately 851. Most of the basics of living are available in the township and the larger town of Dalby is only 80kms away for the larger stores such as Woolworths, Target, Coles, KFC, McDonalds etc.

We are actually about 13kms out of Tara, and forutunately our property has power and phone lines. So many properties out here don’t have either.

Today it is raining and it is cold,  Usually it is pleasant during the day and cold at night. The sandy soil has turned to mush and gets dragged into the house on our shoes.  So its a constant job sweeping to at least keep the house in a reasonable state.  Tara as most of Australia has been in drought conditions so the rain is very welcome.  All the tanks are full and so are the dams. 

The roads to the property aren’t sealed and so it very boggy and the car slips and slides all over the place.

We will be returning to Brisbane on Sunday as Val and I are flying out to Auckland to go and visit relatives. 

I love to travel and will head off at the drop of  a hat.  I guess that’s the beauty of working from home, you don’t have to work your holiday breaks around a work schedule.
