Trip to Echo Hills near ROMA in Queensland
Last week end, I went to visit some friends in the center of Queensland near ROMA.
It was the first time for me to go that far inland in Australia: I loved it, the drive was a bit long but landscapes are just beautiful.
I was lucky with the weather but also to meet Peter and Nikki who took the time to show me around and explain me how was the lifestyle in the over there.
I learnt a lot - It was fantastic.
We shared some French wine and cheese in the middle of the field!
Here are some photos....
As you can see, I really enjoyed the week end.
The most important thing for me during this travel is that it has changed the image i had of Australia, this cliche of the country for surfing and BBQ.
Meeting with people with different mindset and different mentality than surfing was good for me. I have nothing against surf, i like it, but I think Australia has something else to promote and I realised that many aspect of this country are not promoted and maybe should be.

Our country is diverse, as is any other. The photos are stunning and I know Nikki and Peter are keen to help educate suburban Australia even more with the stunning, priceless value that the country has to offer in terms of both people and nature.
The government had just budgeted for the advertising of country Qld a month or so ago. Still, it's more than just knowing it's there. It's also about reinjecting nature into the lives of as many people as possible.
I grew up mostly in East Gippsland, Victoria and spent 95% of my childhood on a farm. It's definitely a different and beautiful life. And, of course, Nikki and Peter are stunning human beings which helps ;-)
