Warwick Jumpers & Jazz Festival

Warwick is a town located approximately 50 minutes drive South from Toowoomba












For the past 10 years the town's folk knit different themed displays & attach them to trees around the high st.  For a week they have jazz bands set up around the town playing for locals and tourists.

It does get cold around Toowoomba & Warwick in winter.  The day we visited Warwick it was approximately a min of 0 degree & a max of 8.

The Latest

 We tested out the beer tap a few weeks ago with some friends.  It works brilliantly.  Unfortunately, we could only get a small keg of German beer which doesn't taste that great out of a beer pump.

 The next trial will be with good old British Ale.

 I've even taken to teaching the art of pulling a beer.  Not that I am any expert!  Really, I just like drinking the stuff.

Last week it was time to put on the Mortar board hat & gown (bit girlie really) & attend my graduation at Uni. 

Day at the Races

Last Saturday we had a day at Clifford Park Race Track.

It was a fundraising event for the University so we invited our friends Fiona & Geoff.

Apple & Grape Festival

The Apple & Grape Festival is held every second year.

Stanthorpe is in the wine district called the Granite Belt. The weather & volcanic soil is very similar to the conditions in Italy.

Not surprising that it has a strong Italian community.

This is not the stall for two vegetarians.
