We ended up really enjoying Poona and have added it to our ever expanding list of places to be revisited. The town has a community hall and whilst we were there they had a Melbourne Cup Day, line dancing, tai chi, a meal and drinks on Friday night, a market this morning and Tombolla on Sunday.
We went over for the meal last night-it's all done by volunteers and we had the choice of fish and chips, pork chops chips and salad, a hamburger or steak sandwich (our choice) for between $4.50 and $7. Good bottled wine was $2 a glass for white and $3 for the red. It was a great night and the locals were so friendly it was unbelievable. I think the Great Sandy Straight might be over fished, but Poona would be still OK with a bit more local knowledge. We managed to catch ourselves 6 fair sized whiting and a garfish yesterday, so were pretty happy with that.
Now we are in Maryborough with Riki (from Recipezaar) for a couple of nights. She lives in a lovely old Queenslander with high ceilings and a great outlook from the upstairs front porch. Just the place to sit and compute and drink coffee!
