We take a step back in time with a stop at the Roxy Theatre in the small town of Bingara.  Here we have morning tea and a tour of the art deco architecture and contains the original fixtures and fittings, including the ornate stucco plaster, paintwork and coloured lights from 1936. Next we head to Moree for lunch at the Amaroo Tavern. We cross the border and travel to St. George where on arrival we visit The Unique Egg.  This is a genuinely impressive and interesting collection of hand-carved emu eggs, illuminated from within. Created by Steve Margaritis over a period of more than 40 years, they have been displayed at World Expos but are on permanent display in a sports store in St. George. Next, we check into our motel for the night and have some free time before dinner in the restaurant.

Day 3  Saturday 4 September 2021  St George to CharlevilleBreakfast , M/tea, Lunch & Dinner

Our touring this morning takes us north to the small town of Surat and we stop at the Cobb & Co Changing Station Museum. The Museum is built on the original site of the Cobb Co Store – and the drop off point for coach passengers and goods. We have morning tea and a self-guided tour through the museum before we head into Roma for a self-guided tour and lunch at the Big Rig Museum. The outdoor museum tells the story of the formation of gas in coal reserves and the first oil discovery in Roma. This afternoon we arrive in Charleville and take a driving guided tour around town with a local guide. We look at the Steiger Guns, a bizarre piece of Western Queensland history.  It is one of ten guns used by the Queensland Government in 1902 to try and induce a rain deluge and thus break the drought, which had been going on since 1896.  The guns had been designed to send blasts of air into the atmosphere filled with gunpowder and unfortunately like many good ideas this just never worked and the rains never eventuated.
