First, a visit to the Woodenbong Campground Dump Point to attend to the usual formalities.
The first port of call, Legume, a town possibly named after a person, possibly named after a pea, a bean or the famous tennis player, Ivan Lentil?
Then on to the Tooloon Lookout to which the Prop drove 7 kilometres out of his way only to find that it no longer seems to exist. Good view of the New England Ranges from the side of the road though!
Next, to Queen Mary Falls, not a lot of water but, on the plus side, very high!
More importantly, the Queen Mary Falls are located in Queensland, which State of the federation we entered at approximately 1100 hours.
There is a very attractive picnic area at Queen Mary Falls complete with toilet facilities. Unfortunately today, the "Johnson Suisse" ceramic urinal in the gentlemens' section would appeared to have been cut off from the water supply. A circumstance which immediately brought to the Prop's mind that immortal nihilist phrase from "The Big Lebowski":
"Ve cut off your Chonson!"
After the inspiring vision of the regally named Queen Mary Falls, it was only fitting that the Prop and Mrs P should visit a waterfall named after the dung-infested dangly woollen bits around a sheep's anus that attract flies and maggots - Daggs Falls
After taking lunch at Warwick, we headed south to Tenterfield bidding a fond farewell to the State of Queensland at approximately 1600 hours. So, in total, the Prop and Mrs P spent about 5 hours in the State of Queensland but, as the late Barry Humphries would say: "At least you can say you've seen it!"
After arriving in Tenterfield we were disappointed to find that, with a little more planning, we might well have been able to have been accommodated at the delightfully named "Peter Allen Motor Inn"

Legume gags all about too predictable for my taste. Need to get your finger on the pulse Prop.

Perhaps FifeTaff has hit it on the head. As TS Eliot said when asked what he meant in 'Four Quartets' by "Lady, three white leopards sat under a juniper tree.", 'I meant, "three white leopards sat under a juniper tree."
