I’ve spent the past few days checking out Roma. Just out of town to the North is a windmill on the side of the road. The last time I was here the plan was to take a star-trail photo with this windmill. That didn’t happen last time, but this time it did. A second visit was planned but at the last minute clouds decided to make an appearance.

I spent a good deal of time playing Lego Star Wars on PS3 with Ethan. To say he’s good at the game is an understatement, and its a lot of fun. Some time was also spent making and mending paratroopers with tissues and cotton thread. Good fun all round.

Kev and I spent an hour or so photographing the inside of the local Anglican Church. The attraction was the stained glass and architecture. I haven’t looked at the photos yet but I’m hoping they turn out OK.

I did a tour of the town on Sunday morning looking for the main sites. My brother visited the Winery on the way to Carnarvon Gorge a while ago and so I went to have a look. It was closed being a Sunday, which is just as well. If it was open I would have bought wine, and not being able to carry it home, be forced to drink it. The local cemetery is also an interesting place. This is on the “sites” list because of some of the graves and how far they date back, some back into the 1800’s. There is also the “Big Rig” in Roma, I’ve seen this before on my last visit so didn’t go again.

It was good catching up with Kev, Bec and the kids. Bec is an excellent cook, so it’s my shout for dinner next time they’re at the coast.

Tomorrow I head to Warwick, some 650kms away to the south.
