Day 13: Driving around

Today was Sophie's birthday (Haidee's best friend). We picked her up and got in the car and drove to Jondaryan Woolshed. We looked around in the heat at a bunch of Australian history stuff. We fed some animals too.

After that we drove up to the Bunya Mountains. We saw heaps of wallabies and even some with joeys in their pouches. We saw a few rosellas and lots of lizards. We went on a walk to a waterfall.

We decided to come back the long way via Papa and Nanna Grey-grey's place at Googa. We didn't have much time to visit them but we helped feed the chickens and collect the eggs.

We drove back to Toowoomba and went to Ni Hao for dinner where we got all we can eat Chinese. But this restaurant has the added twist that we order what we want, eat all of that and then we can order more. This reduces wasteage and is actually pretty cool.
