On the nose!

There's no way round it but to tell it straight up - Emerald stinks! Literally it pongs! Think dead rotting phew wee stink! It's not pleasant actually its a kill joy, you'd like to be outside but one whiff and you head in doors! It's random so we are not living in a state of continual pong but its randomness is made up by severe nose assault!! The big question is why??? Where does the power pong come from? well no one really knows!!! The general consensus is the grain storage. these giant piles of grain are kept under huge tarps, it sweats and the combustible smell reeks across emerald. It hasn't been on the nose for awhile so Paul & I decided to be brave and drive up to the source and we get there and laugh ......the grain stacks are all gone!!! No wonder the pong is gone! To me it confirms the source is the grain, you'll have to wait for a them to make more piles and I'll send a pic of one!


Let me assure you seeing a photo is better than smelling it!!
Speaking of smells here's another one


Looks like a house right, but this house smells good!!! It's your typical queenslander and they live underneath where its all open and much cooler, but in this house they know how to cook!!! Beaut aromas waft up the street they do great barbies, and as you go past mmm yum the ol taste buds start juicing up!! I think they are deaf too because they always have TV on so loudly, every morning when I ride past you can hear the today show as clear as day!

There's always alot of hoo haa about mining camps in town to get approval from council they give them lovely names but they are what they are mining camps
Here's country resort sounds restful and nice


What does it look like?





Rows and rows of cabins to me its a camp but its out on the edge of town not bothering anyone , i don't see why the carry on, the miners are bused so its not like there's 30 cars coming and going, and the extra jobs mining camps provide help the towns survive. Here's another one this one is right in town its called
The emerald village





It's completely fenced off more like a compound with rows and rows of dongas (site huts) its not exactly lovely looking but does serve a purpose. Dave has been to alot of camps and they vary greatly in popularity, food and gyms are what makes camps great or shocking!
