balhannah Says: A lovely time to come to Warwick, is late December/early January when the Crepe Myrtles are in flower. These are small Trees that line quite a few of the streets in this Town. Even though I have been here lots of times, it was the first time I had seen them in full bloom and...
balhannah Says: Coming from Brisbane, this park is located on the right hand side as you come down the hill and into Warwick.We often stop here, as during the holiday period and on holiday weekends, the Driver Reviver station is here, so we stop for our coffee and break.The park has free...
balhannah Says: Entering Warwick from Brisbane, you will find Rotary Park located on the left hand side of the road, just as you cross the Condamine river bridge.Follow the no- through road to a free parking spot.This is the ideal place to have a family bbq as these are supplied, so are...
balhannah Says: A new addition to the park, is the flood level tower. It has markers of all the flood levels that Warwick has experienced. As you can see in the photo, there have been some amazingly high floods, with February 1976 being the highest, about 9.5 metres above the normal...
balhannah Says: Federation Park is located beside the Condamine River, as you enter Warwick from the Brisbane end of the town.We parked our car here, and then went for a walk. On the walk, are some unsual "dreamtime" sculptures, each with a description beside them.My 1st photo is of Muggil,...
balhannah Says: During the Warwick Rodeo festival, a street parade is held on the final Saturday at 12noon.Once again, the main street is closed to traffic so the parade can come along. Bring your own seating or be prepared to stand for approx 3/4 hour. As the road is divided, the parade...

The Warwick RSL Club on a Saturday night, has a Buffet for $15.50 in 2012
You have the choice of three different Roasts, eg Pork, Lamb & Beef, plus self serve of a variety of Roast Vegetables, Chinese style food and Salads.
There is also Soup, and a big choice of Desserts.
All was cooked lovely.
In 2012, we returned again, only this time we decided to try the Lamb chops and vegetables.
You could have salad if you wished. The meal arrived, and there were 3 lion lamb chops on the plate, a huge meal for me.
Sweets, and there was a good choice. All were only $2.50 each, inclucing pavlova which was beautiuful.. What a bargain and another good meal at the RSL.

balhannah Says: What fearless men these clowns are!Years ago in Australia, rodeo clowns were hired to entertain the spectators between events and to help manage the bullocks, steers or bulls in the arenas at Agricultural shows and Rodeos. In the 1930s, aggressive Brahman bulls and Brahman...
balhannah Says: This is another team event at the Rodeo, only this time, perfect timing and team work between a steer wrestler and his helper, a mounted 'hazer' is the key to fast times in this event. If the contestant has a very good Horse with the ability to 'rate' the steer and place the...
balhannah Says: This Rodeo event is built on teamwork. There are two ropers - a 'header' and a 'heeler,' who work as a team to catch and control a steer. As the steer leaves the chute, it has a slight head start before the barrier is released. Out the two Cowboys come, with the header...
balhannah Says: One for the Ladies at the Rodeo.The contestant must cross the scoreline and run a clover-leaf pattern around three barrels and back across the scoreline to end time. Either barrel, on the left or right, may be taken first, but a contestant will be disqualified for not...
balhannah Says: Another event in the rodeo where the rider needs a lot of skill and gutz!Rodeo bareback riding is the supreme challenge of riding a rough horse without a saddle or a rein. Plenty of action in this event!A bareback rider 'starts' the horse out of the chutes with his feet over...
balhannah Says: This is for all those people who have never been to a Rodeo and do not know what to expect.One of the most popular events, is the Bull ride, which just happens to be the most dangerous event in the Rodeo. The ride itself may only last 8 seconds, even though it probably feels...
balhannah Says: Not that many cities in Australia have a Town Crier.....Warwick does though, and it was he who led the Warwick Town Parade on the Saturday of the Warwick Rodeo Festival.Looking resplendant in his costume just like they wore in England all those many years ago, when the town...
There are warning signs at Leslie Dam ( and other Queensland waterways) about the possible risk to your health from Blue Green Algae Blooms. Due to the toxins they may produce, blue-green algae can affect water consumers in a number of ways. They have been associated with nausea, headache, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhoea, gastroenteritis, muscle weakness, pneumonia and paralysis...............But wait there's more:
Body Contact with blue-green algae (toxic and non-toxic forms) through water-based activities can cause problems such as skin rashes, swollen lips, eye irritation and redness, ear ache and itchiness, sore throat, hayfever symptoms, asthma and possibly promotion of skin tumours.
Risk Level depends on the Activity involved.
lHigh Risk - Swimming, diving, sail-boarding, water-skiing,paddlingl
Medium Risk - Canoeing, sailing, rowing (assumes avoidance of algal material when launching and landing and no rollovers or capsize)
Low Risk - Fishing, pleasure cruising, passive shoreline recreation (picnicking, walking, etc.)
Interestingly, boiling water which is affected by the BG algae increases the toxins produced by the organisms.
Don't you just love Australia and the risks to the residents and tourists?
If the salt water crocs, sharks, rips, stone fish and Iracongi jellyfish don't get you the blooming blue algae goes for your throat just when you think it's safe to enter the water in an inland dam!!.

Leslie Dam is the water supply for Warwick.
It is located only 12 kilometres west of Warwick, and is an area that has an abundance of nice picnic areas.
Not only that, it is very good for fishing, as the local fish stocking group have stocked it with large numbers of Golden Perch, Silver Perch and Murray Cod. Other Fish that can be caught are Spangled Perch and Eel-Tailed Catfish.
If you have a Boat, all the better, as there are no boating restrictions on Lake Leslie.
There is concrete boat launching ramp not far from the dam wall. You can enjoy water-skiing, fishing on the dam in your boat, and enjoy other water sports.
There are many large boulders around the fringes, I did notice some people had been dropped off by boat, and were fishing here, perhaps it is a good area.
I went for a walk along the Spillway wall, as far as I could go. The dam wasn't very full, but still picturesque.
Location is at.....578 Leslie Dam Road, 12km from Warwick

Favorite thing: This stall at the Warwick craft markets was a favorite of mine.
The stall sold all types of garden ornaments made from steel. I was talking to the producer of these ornaments, and he said he had to buy new steel as he run out of the scrap. This is why the prices are higher.
The work is so cleverly done! There are Kangaroos, Emus, Crocodiles, Echidnas, Frilled neck lizards, Kookaburras and a lot more.
Even though most are in the hundreds of dollars, he said he still sells quite a few. There certainly was a big interest in his stall.
He is also at the Jimboomba Markets that are held on the 3rd Saturday of each month, excluding the month of January.
If you want one specially made for you, contact.
