23.03 Easter Sunday Big Day Out

A slightly earlier start was had on Easter morning, as the easter bunny had delivered a large number of eggs and someone was very excited! It wasn't me by the way!! In fact, there were so many eggs that Gracie started on hers at breakfast time!

Then it was time for the Mystery Tour & Picnic organised by Deidre and driven by Roger.

Everyone gets ready to pile into the taxi for the Leach's Mystery Tour!What better is there to transport ten people on a mystery tour?! An orderly queue forms as people find their seats in the maxi-taxi, luckily the meter didn't start until we started moving!

First Stop: Warrego Vineyard for a quick drink!Arden in front of the wine barrels at Warrego WinesThe first stop on our tour was at the Warrego Vineyard for a quick tasting/tea/coffee, a toilet stop & a bit of a run around!

Picnic Stop: Spring Bluff StationSpring Bluff StationSpring Bluff was our destination to de-camp and tuck into the delicious picnic! Although the station itself isn't in use, the track is. To prove this a massive goods train came through!

Nathan, Pat & Dix just about to dig in to an amazing picnic!Dan & Roger give the trip the 'thumbs up', or are they trying to hitch a lift?!Dan, Rog with Sam about to prepare a nice brew!Arden enjoying the open space and working off the massive plate of food he had!Everyone having a relaxing time at Spring Bluff! Mean while the meter is still running...

From Spring Bluff we headed to Toowoomba, for some spectacular views!

Arden in front of the taxi!Arden is looking quite innocent here, but unknown to his Pops (Roger) he's just created a diversion so the rest of us can escape from the $800 fare!! Cheers Arden!! Poor Rog, he's still trawling for these passengers through CCTV! Best of luck though, lets hope that you get those mongrels!

Wow! That brought a happy end to thirteen months of living / working / travelling in Australia and what a great way to conclude by spending our last week with the Coys!! We had such a brilliant time! Find our post about the move from Austrailia to New Zealand here!
