Sunday the 25th of October 2020 – Marburg, Queensland

Whilst we are not staying in Brisbane we are basically there, as Marburg will be our base (other than our next stop on the Gold Coast) whilst we are in the region. Marburg is just outside Ipswich which is 30+ k’s from the Brisbane CBD. You know your in Brisbane with 3 major thunderstorms today. Some of the lightening tonight has to be seen to be believed.

I have to say on this day after the AFL Grand Final, Go Tiges! To come from behind at half time and win was a great effort and I’m so glad they won, for 3 special supporters back home in Melbourne. In a time of darkness the Tiges have given many back in Melbourne much joy and last nights GF win was the icing on the cake,

We are staying at the Marburg Showgrounds, not a true caravan park but just as good but much cheaper. We turned up today and set up and then had the opportunity for some free entertainment as the Marburg trots were on. Something about country sporting events that makes them special. It’s the closest I’ve ever been to “horse racing” and it was fun, particularly the 1st race for the youngsters and their stead’s!

As Freddie used to sing “We are the Champions”! Premiers for 3 of the last 4 years. Go Tigers!
The kids race at Marburg.
Time for the big guys to strut their stuff! I was rather surprised at the speed the horses get too, pulling a sulky and mostly overweight 50 year olds.

      Always happy for the Tiges to win, irrespective of the occasion but really happy they won for the girls sake after the lockdown in Melbourne.

    3 premierships in 4 yrs. it is a real fairytale & Dusty – what can you say. It is obvious Richmond is his family. His care & support towards his team mates speaks volumes of that young man.
    But what an 1st quarter for Geelong!! I thought game on & then little Gazza – it was very emotional to see him damaged like that on his last game. The whole team felt it.
