Leyland's Australia Episode 1: Brisbane To Rockhampton

The odyssey begins as Mal, Larraine, Carmen and Robert travel from Brisbane to Rockhampton in Queensland following Highway 17.
Along the way the explore the Bunya Mountains, visit an Aboriginal community where Emus are bred commercially, see gold pouring on the oldest goldfields of Queensland, investigate the mysterious properties of Mt Scoria known as 'The Musical Mountain', take a 4wd trek to visit a crash site in the Kroombit Tops range of a World War ll bomber which had been lost for 50 years, and relive the age of dinosaurs in the old mine workings at Mount Morgan.
Laraine demonstrates a fast and simple casserole recipe for travelers and we see the contrast between the comforts of the two modern well appointed rigs.

This is a blast from the past I was the train driver for this up at Mt Morgan I remember they turned up about lunch time we didn’t know they were coming and pulled the steam engine out and put a fire in it and it was pretty late buy the time we finished and then went and had dinner at one of the local pubs after

Delightful way for a Pom to fall in love with an Australia off the beaten track.Guessing this must be mid 90's?. Shame the music cuts out the narration

Is this family of higher social class? They all speak with a very nice cultivated accent (apart from the son-in-law)

[@dukkha62]

They are Aborigines, not Aboriginals. Aborigine is a noun, Aboriginal is an adjective. Also, turn the music down.
