Town today

Off to Emerald, nice and early, seeing where the water has been across the road in two places before we reach the main road (Capricorn hwy) and further down the road the evidence of where more water has recently crossed the road. Grass rubble on fences that days before were clear, slight gravel washes encroaching on the bitumen all in low lying areas marked by floodway signs and those dreaded, metre markers, some even show two metres.Our mail had not arrived at the Post Office yet, even though sent Postal Express. Looked like a very busy place and found there was 3,700 postal boxes here..WOW, goes right around the building. The Irish Village pub in town was reputed to be pretty good, from the expert opinion around the fire at happy hour. The meals were up to the standard of the reports and we rolled out of there not thinking about tea.A visit to Maccas, updated my e-mails and through Woolworths, a trip to Shell where the diesel is 1.44.9/ltr (a good price considering) and we were off home again.
