The Theebine Hotel, out in the middle of nowhere. 105 years old and in fantastic condition. Its the only thing here, apart from a few houses. The owners are a lovely German couple in their 70s. Retired at 65, moved to Hervey Bay in Qld and then found themselves bored, so they bought a pub. 7 days a week from 10 to Midnight. We had a really enjoyable stay in their backyard. A family of 5 were also there so we all ended up having a very long liquid time around the open fire and the bar. Great company and even nicer to be over our nightmare earlier in the day. We downed quite a few, and laughed about our ventures and it was good to finally relax. The bus took a bit of damage on our trek, but it could have very much worse. But after quite a few scotches, Rick was thinking that maybe we should have rolled the bus, cos then the Insurance could have fixed all the other body problems he has, i.e. rust and stone chips. Anyway, we slept long and late and didnt say farewell to this great little camp until almost lunchtime.
