Today we set out for Home Hill. As we left Gumlu we found an amazing fresh fruit & vegetable stall on the side of the road called #TheBigPumpkin. What a little gem it was, as we stocked up on supplies. Take the time to pull in here on your way north, as they have such a fantastic range, all picked from the local farms. Some pineapples, zucchinis, garlic, mandarins, bananas & tomatoes, we were on our way.
#HomeHill is a little township on the way to #Townsville that has a railway line running alongside the highway & about 30 shops. We stopped in there briefly last year for lunch & the boys have fond memories sitting next to the trainline awaiting the trains. The plan was to spend the evening #FreeCamping next to the lines. We got in early enough to fill the tanks at the water station & get an amazing park next to the lines...literally 20metres from the lines. All afternoon the kids played in the trees awaiting the trains. Finally we had a cargo train come through at 3.45 and the #SpiritofQueensland at 4.45. The kids we so excited & as were the drivers who tooted the horn & waved, yet unexpectedly scared the daylights out of all of us.
Check out todays video of these yummy treats to keep my kids quiet on the longer road trips. I used the Cookidoo recipe of Chocolate Hazelnut Energy Balls however without Hazelnuts in the pantry, I used what I had of Walnuts & Almonds. See how easy these are below. See you in Townsville tomorrow ~Lisa~
