LAIDLEY PIONEER VILLAGE & MUSEUM

FRIDAY 7.07.2017: The rain has not stopped all night and on waking we determined that the ground was starting to become a little too wet for our liking so we packed and moved across to the sealed road. Parked outside the Pioneer Village waiting for a break in the weather - did not come! Took a photo 'from a distance' and then set sail. Driving to Esk today as a reconnaissance for the markets being held tomorrow. Carole rang and spoke to the organiser, determined the necessary information and was given the oh so good news - you will need to be on site at 5.30am - we do not even have that hour on our alarm clock! Having absorbed the terrifying news we decided to do our 'Swap and Go' whilst in town. Headed to the hardware, "no, the newsagent does that." Paid the $23.95 at the newsagent and accompanied the lady to pick up the cylinder, "oh, we don't have any filled." Pocketed the money and headed to the final option, "yea, we can do that, $17.50." All this occurred in a one street town! Next stop the Poll Crandell (B.E.M.) Park at Toogoolawah to prepare for the early morning adventure!
