Day 98 – Monday 25th October 2021 – ? Km

It is raining this morning when we wake & a storm skirts around us, a bit of thunder & a bit of wind, but not too much. So we change our plans, we were going walking, now we go shopping, a few groceries & a medicine script for Tereza, the chemist at Roma has it, so only missed out one day. The rain stopped, it is overcast but not hot so a good time to drive to the Roma Bush Gardens & have a nice slow walk on the concrete pathway around the railway Dam. It is very pleasant & thankfully nice & cool after the rain. There are signs dotted around explaining what the trees & shrubs are that we are looking at. There are lots of waterbirds in the dam & lots of birds in the trees, shrubs & on the grasses. 

Back to our van for lunch then down to the Visitor Information Centre for the 4 hour experience we had booked & paid for at 2pm. Come 2pm & a women at the counter asks if she can help us. We are waiting for the tour start I reply, what tour start she asks, the complete tour I say. There is none booked today she says, I show her my receipt for the full tour. There is nothing in the computer she says. Anyway, we are now booked on the full tour tomorrow.

Alternative is that we go on a walking tour of the historic buildings around town. We have a map & start our walk, there are information signs on the footpath opposite that provide a great overview of the history of the building. We also look at the Remembrance Walk, Queensland Bottle trees that have been planted & a brass plaque commemorating each soldier from the Roma district who was killed during the First World War.

Back to the van, nice cheese, bikkies, red wine & an amazing sunset this afternoon, an amazingly beautiful show.  Afterwards we had a nice BBQ dinner. Another great day.
