Hi again from the Discovery Centre, Ubobo .
What’s been happening, you ask? Well August is here and the campers continue
to arrive and enjoy what I have to offer despite the weather.
During a recent getting-to-know- you weekend, the Under 13 Central
Queensland “Capras” representative football team endured 100mm of rain and
still had a great time. They made use of
the Ubobo Memorial Hall for indoor activities and lots of fun and laughter erupted
when the boys were allowed free play in the rain before their showers. I’m sure they would have preferred to light
the bonfire to provide the focus for night-time activities but I know they
still had great fun Saturday night under the eating area roof in spite of the
pouring rain.
The Kingfisher CMCA Chapter had frosty mornings to challenge
them during their stay. Still they
looked very comfortable relaxing on the deck, soaking up the sunshine, reading,
sewing and chatting while enjoying the TV coverage of the Olympic Games. I think the most strenuous thing they did
during their stay was use my laundry facilities to wash the big items like
sheets and towels!!!
The management committee is excited by the announcement of
two successful grant applications. Thanks
to the Queensland Gas Company they are now on the way to completing their
building project. They have been funded
to build a commercial kitchen. Watch
this space for developments.
They have also just won a grant through the Regional Arts Development
Fund to produce a booklet recording a brief history of Ubobo with an associated
map to support self-guided walking tours of the township. ( The booklet is to
be ready to launch at the opening of the Time Capsule in front of the Ubobo
Memorial Hall in March 2013.)
I urge you to come and see for yourself why everyone is
raving about me as a place to rest and recreate. I look forward to your visit.
