After 2 days of glorious rain, the sun came out and Chris and I headed off on the bikes to the picturesque Spring Bluff Railway Station up on the range, then on to Esk via the Ravensbourne National park for morning tea. On the return section we visited the Lowood Memorial Drive, which is a part of the former Lowood airbase, and scene of the Australian Grand Prix for cars back in the 1950's. From there we could see Mt.Tarampa and the underground Operations bunker set into its lower slope. Further investigation warrented.

Christmas 2006 has come and gone, but at least this time, Santa's helper had the use of a flash new sleigh, delivering presents to our friends up on the Darling Downs. Forget the reindeer, horse power rules !

As usual, things have been hectic leading up to Christmas, with the arrival of friends from down south that will be our neighbours on the Airpark, a massive storm and a gathering of Airpark residents for a Christmas barbeque - pretty much all on one day !
