Quotes of the day
I know that most men, including those at ease with problems of the greatest complexity, can seldom accept even the simplest and most obvious truth if it be such as would oblige them to admit the falsity of conlusions which they have delighted in explaining to colleages, which they have proudly taught to others, and which they have woven, thread by thread, into the fabric of their lives. ~ Leo Tolstoy

We drove 187 km from Charleville to Adavale, a rural town of 72 people in outback Queensland, only to find the pub closed and the landlord away to buy beer and provisions from a nearby town called Quilpie, 98 km away. Adavale had its heyday between 1889 and 1930, but the Western railway line bypassed Adavale in 1917 and went instead to Quilpie and as a result of this Adavale declined. Adavale is now a pub, a police station, a few scattered houses and vacant plots all showing the vestiges of a big fire that ravaged the town.
