Kingaroy
Kingaroy, the home of peanut farming, sounded like a must do for us. We were camped about 40 kms away, but decided to shift camp as we thought there would be so much to see and do in this town. How wrong we were. Our tourist map gave us the place to go to buy peanuts, turned out to be a mobile van. The closest we were going to get to a peanut farm. Never mind, we got to try about 20 different types of peanut flavors before settling on a couple. Then we drove around, visited the lookout, overgrown, the local tip recycle shop, because we were going past, the Endeavour Foundations Biscuit Factory. Here intellectually disabled adults are employed. We bought biscuits and then spotted what we thought was a vintage caravan in the distance. Turned out to be crappy old motorhome but this guys driveway/shed was a must. we drove in and asked if we could take some pics. Of course Rick talked and talked and talked. All the stuff is garden ornament quality but it looked fantastic. His signs and fixtures around the place would be worth a fair $$$$$ and we were amazed that stuff didnt get knocked off. Nice guy, happy to talk to us, told us the place was for sale if interested. the ONLY thing of interest in Kingaroy. We decided to take the bus and go back where we came from and spend another night in a free caravan park in Murgon.
