A rollup in the Outback at Quilpie

We're almost done in Queensland for this year - we spend our last couple of days in The Outback. Today we came to Quilpie for a little rollup.

Inside we met Danny (Manager) and Kate. We asked them if there'd be any bowlers around this afternoon. They said unlikely as they've all gone to Roma for a carnival.

The inside of Club Quilpie is nice. It's tiny.

Out the front there's a good outdoor area with chairs and tables.

It has a playground beside the green.

There's one grass green. Kate told us they were supposed to have a carnival this weekend. We saw information about it at Charleville. The carnival had to be cancelled because of an inch of rain that fell quickly. It caused some damage. They've had to redo the ditches.

The green is surrounded by the red dust of The Outback.

Jean had first go.

She did ok. Mal went a little wide.

Mal was determined to get it right.

It was close but he got the shot.

He did it again. Jean tried to drive him off but picked up the kitty instead.

She was happy with her bowls after a few ends.

Quilpie - bowls and Outback dust.
