27/04/15 - Lowood Qld


Had a look around the Lowood area and Jo took the opportunity to use the laundromat to get some washing done.

Nice showground to camp at.







A display of the rescue boat the "The Gig" commemorates the pioneers of the district.  
"The Gig" was a rescue boat built as a response to the February 1893 floods, which the Lowood community raised funds for its purchase.   The boat was used for rescuing flood victims and the transporting of supplies to isolated homes.



Some interesting old war paraphernalia on display, a 3" mortar


and a 500lb High Drag bomb, detonated above ground, as used in Vietnam.
