Location: Southbrook (south of Tawoomba), Qld

Hanging out with: Jen the horse vet – friend from vet school.

From northern NSW we headed into Queensland to a small town in the middle of nowhere called Southbrook. Our friend Jen was working there as a locum vet at the Equine clinic. We headed into Tawoomba to have a look around but we where hindered by the heavy fog that settled in.

After our breakfast with a view we decided to head out of the fog and drive to Warrick to take a look at their Jumpers & Jazz festival. The townsfolk knit, crochet or sew jumpers for the trees on the main street to keep them warm during the winter, while musicians sing some jazz on the street or in the cafes.

There was of course the obligatory stop at a winery on the way.

Back at the Equine hospital Graeme witnessed for the first time how sperm samples are collected from stallions for breeding purposes.
