Daniel and Frances took us on a tour of their property with Joshua, Libby and Bethany. 
We saw the new vegie patch with vermin proof fence and chook house. 
The bull was looking very contented as most of the cows were in calf. Daniel was trying to predict when each cow was going to calf. As well as 30 odd cattle they have a couple of horses grazing in a back paddock. 
The dam is huge and has never run dry since they have been there which is incredible considering the droughts they have been through. Frances put on a great lunch and Colin took the kids for a ride on his motorbike. Colin took the opportunity to wash his bike with Daniel's jet truck washer. I decided against washing mine as I was not going to remove the designer dirt I had collected all trip. 
Daniel helped Colin tighten up the bearings in his steering as he had all the required tools. We left the farm at 3.30pm and headed for Cabarlah just north of Toowomba. It started to rain near Dalby and became thoroughly miserable as we neared Toowomba. I was using "Mabel" to get us to the Cabarlah pub. She decided to play up on me coming into Toowomba and turned herself off. I eventually got her going again and she took us through some dark and narrow roads. At one stage we were on a dirt road which was in fact a road under repair. We trusted in Mabel and she eventually got us to the pub where we met Bob and Barbara Shaw and their friend Jenny who had offered Colin and I a bed for the night. We had dinner at the pub before heading for Jenny's place. Bob and Barbara had their Landcruiser and slept in their pop-top bed.
