Aussie Icons

Its amazing to know/see three Aussie Icons not that far from home. We had the occassion a couple of weeks ago to get up close and personal to the closest one. It featured in the Brisbane trade Expo back in 1988, it is now just up the road a bit, outside of the local Historial village.

Matilda is about ninety minutes away and a good spot to take a break which we intended to do, however the roadworks have now been completed and means the highway not longer passing by her. Matilda made her debut at Sydney olympics and had a saucy wink. She now resides at a service station.

Further along the highway is or was the Ettamoga pub. It used to look like this.

It was sold and the new owners  had to change it, now it looks like a Bali hut.
