TUES 19 - WED 20.07.2016: First stop was Dalby - gathered supplies, but found it a little difficult to park the beast. Had planned on washing, but to date have still not found the Laundromat! Onward to Tara and our first pay stop - $5.00 (unpowered), $10.00 (powered) for two days. Showers, bins, dump point, water and barbecues available, with a large space that would cater for many vehicles. Important industries in the area around Tara include wheat, beef and wool. In 2011 a blockade against coal seam gas development began at a property called Kenya near Tara. The following day a woman was arrested after she stopped the movement of a bulldozer working for Queensland Gas Company. Completed our fitness regime for the day - actually, as long as the photo shoot took!
We could have embarked on the fitness walk and undertaken a full exercise program, but did not want to monopolize the equipment! Instead put the chairs and dog beds outside for an afternoon relax. The poodles as usual were on leads when we noticed this B-I-G black dog sprinting off lead toward us. Sybil grabbed Shayden and literally threw him indoors and in that time the dog was on top of Madison slobbering all over her. Carole was for her, yelling for the intruder to stop and the owner also yelling instructions was having no success in controlling the dog. Finally the dog retreated, with Carole reprimanding its' owner for being so irresponsible. All returned to normal, but unfortunately that same night Madison who has been diagnosed with epilepsy, had a seizure. The girl is okay, but was obviously stressed by the experience.
