PDP goes country ll.. Stumpy's Roadhouse.

I love a sunburnt country,
A land of sweeping plains
Of ragged mountain ranges
Of droughts and flooding rains.
I love her far horizons
I love her jewel-sea,
Her beauty and her terror –
The wide brown land for me!

Why is it when I see vistas like this the words of  Dorothea Mackellar's 'My Country' come to mind.  We stopped at the town lookout point before arriving in Brookton, can you see Brookton there on the horizon.. you have to look reeeeally hard :)

We arrived around 12.30 absolutely starving and in desperate need of coffee. Thinking Brookton was the bigger town of the two, yesterday's post, and only half an hour apart, we had held off on lunch. There are three types of country towns in Australia, the bigger have a main street lined with shops, cafes and a pub or two on each side of the street, others have a main street with businesses on one side and usually the railway on the other, then there are the type that if you blink you miss altogether. Brookton was the second kind. We could tell by the cars parked that possibly the only place to have a substantial lunch was Stumpy's Roadhouse. Whether it was because we were starving or not, that was the best darn egg, bacon and salad roll that I've had in a long time 😉 Where to explore next! Happy weekend, take care and stay safe.. P.s. Sadly the pubs were closed!
