Girl, that looked like one fabulous day out! I loved seeing the country side, the houses, and the stores.
I bet Penny and Linda will have a hard time looking at all those stacks of plates without their fingers getting itchy to do some mosaic work! HA!

Amanda, I loved our drive through the countryside. It is so wonderful getting to see places I've never been. Your pictures are great. That restaurant is charming, and the houses, too.
Thank you for sharing your day.
Oh, that was so much fun -- thanks for taking us along!!!

i came over from Tara. Congrats on winning her giveaway and this is a very nice blog, the pictures are very clear and fantastic :)
Beautiful pictures of the country side. It looks a lot like places in California. I wonder if it's really similar. I have always wanted to go to Australia. Some day I'll get there. Thanks for the tour!
WOW!! What a lovely trip. It isn't anything like that around here in the Midwest. That little country restaurant looks the best!!
Thank you for taking us along on your trip:-)

Well, I can see when I finally visit Australia I'm going to have to bring an extra suitcase for all the fun things I'm gonna buy! LOL! I really enjoyed the drive! It was just lovely! I can see why Paris Fifi is just tuckered out, poor girl!

Wow! What beautiful countryside you have Amanda!
And the yard sale and markets looked like places I would love to stop at.
Rosie is right! Look at all of those wonderful plates!!

I had a great time with you! The place you had lucnh looked so quaint!
What a wonderful trip! Thanks for taking us along. I would like to brouse through the antique shop and see the countryside. What did you have for lunch?
Looks like beautiful countryside.
Blessings.
That seems like a wonderful Sunday to me, though it seems odd that your season is fall and ours is spring. Mind you, except that we don't have falling leaves it sure FEELS like fall...late fall...around here lately!
Dingos are a wild dog, right? Do they often sell them as pets in Austrailia? They have wolf dogs here in the states, but there are a lot of folks who feel they can never really be trusted not to revert back to untamed wolf behavior.
Loved the display cabinet with the oval glass front. I know just where I would put that! Did you buy anything?
Thanks so much for all the wonderful photos. I enjoyed my visit.
God bless.

Such a lovely day...thank you for taking us along with you!
The countryside is beautiful.
I loved that market....so much to browse through.
And that abandoned house- how I would love to restore that beauty!
Thank you so much for sharing your day-

This was so much fun, Amanda! I loved all the photos! AND, I would love to have that dropleaf table with the barley twist legs. WOW!
Pat
Oh Amanda!!! You have no idea how my face is aglow right now. I enjoyed that SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much.
And all of the photos inside of the antique shops, and the nice sampling of architecture (old churches, old homestead!) autumn bush ... it's the kind of thing I would do if I were there. Just hop in a car and see everything I could see until I had to pull over for a nap.
So enjoyable. Thank you for sharing!
Glad you are enjoying your blissful cool Queensland right now.
Thank you thank you thank you thank you. That's going to keep a smile on my face all day.

Hi Amanda :)
I wonder how much the shipping would be for the antique chair and bench?? LOL The ship was beautiful too! It looks like you girls had a wonderful time :)
Annie will be thrilled that someone thought to wish her a great time. Thank you :)
Hugs,

THX!! so much for the trip! And I will take that abandoned house! Now this is going to sound really
"DUH!"...people keep dingos as pets? I thought they were like coyotes?
M ^..^
What a gorgeous drive in the country! I love all your pictures! Thank you for sharing them! I love the cool shops you were in with all the wonderful antiques! I felt like I was right there with you!
Hugs, Sharon
That looks like one tuckered out pup. Thanks for the tour. What beautiful furniture and I would have loved to have seen the dingo pups.
WOW! I'm tired just going along for the ride. Love the photos and really enjoyed the trip. xoxo
Thanks for taking us along, Amanda! This was pure delight...Happy Day ((HUGS))
Hi Amanda,
What a beautiful drive. I can just sense the lovely season through these pictures and as we head in to our hot season I'm already finding myself looking at your cooler weather and longing for it! Thanks for taking me along :)

Beautiful shots! We visited Australia in 1983 and fell in love with it. Would love to return sometime!
Glad to find your blog.

Amanda,
I loved your pictures and they reminded me of my visit to Australia.
I have a huge tin of Milo and I think I will go and make a cup and have a couple of Tim Tams. I get a steady supply from my Aussie friends.
Oh, I can't wait for my next visit. I hope it is soon.
Hugs!
Christine

Don't you love the country? I do. Beautiful! And what did you put in the ice cream? hehehe.... it certainly put the little guy to sleep....

What a day...what a sweet puppy! (Kipper says you gotta have that 'scream!!)
Ooph...I so want to get my hands on that stack of plates and two of those tables you have pictured!! : )
These scenes were heavenly...
Love,

What a joyous trip I've had with you through the Outback. It's breath-taking beauty. The sales and antiques are marvelous too. Thanks for the fun road trip. I'll come along next time too.

Hi Amanda
I don't know if I've ever visited you before but I was just poking around and came across your blog. Thanks for the great tour of the country. It looks beautiful and I loved the srchitecture of some of the buildings. Isn't it fun to see photos of places on the other side of the world?

Beautiful photos. We live in a great country, don't we? My Dad came from Clermont, in central Qld, and I'd love to go back there one day.
