It’s 22.8° in Kingaroy right now, but up here on the mountain, a bright, lovely 14°C 
Fortunately, I’m tucked up inside with the sherpa rugs and the laptop, all snug and warm. (And for the information of prospective visitors, we have oil heaters for all bedrooms, electric blankets on queen and double beds, extra blankets for all beds and sherpa rugs on the armchairs and couch, a woodburning stove, and split system heating in the living area. You just need to bring warm clothing.) For the weather forecast, go to http://www.bom.gov.au/places/qld/bunya-mountains/
Yesterday we went to the Goomeri Pumpkin Festival – official, ate some great food, bought some lovely booze (Chocolate Port and Pumpkin liqueur from Moffatdale Ridge Wines), and a packet of pumpkin fruit slices from a stall run by the South Burnett Gumnut Place. Also discovered Gourmet Xcellence the purveyors of fine Italian small goods running a stall at the festival, are actually based in Scarborough, a short drive from where we live. We inspected some very big pumpkins:
Doug watched the pumpkin roll, and on the way home, we stopped in Memerambi for some delicious gelati.)
I’d never been to Goomeri before, and so didn’t know about the Wooroolin Wetland, just south of Wondai, nor about the lovely country towns (including Goomeri) such a short drive from the Bunyas. So much to explore here in the South Burnett, and winter is a great time to do it as it gets *very* hot in the lowlands in summer.
So why not come up and explore?
