7–9 August–Kingaroy Showgrounds

Spent 3 busy days interspersing shopping, catching up with the washing and a bit of tourism.  The showgrounds are not a bad camp spot, but the price has recently gone up, and is now $20 per night for a powered and watered site.

We took a ride out to the local lookout at Mount Wooroolin where there is a 360 degree view of the countryside.  It was actually quite impressive.

Then we went to Taste South Burnett.  They offer exclusive tastings of Kingaroy Cheese and of course their home made fudge. Barambah, Kingsley Grove and Bellbird wines are featured along with a wide range of local and modern Australian products in their Cellar Door. We had a lovely cup of coffee and then a tour of the Cheese factory.  The tour could have been a little better if the factory had been working, but being weekend – well, you get the gist.  It was however very interesting, and the host was very knowledgeable about the area and his product considering that he and his wife had only owned the place for six weeks.  They had however spent years visiting the place, and even got married there.
