Pull over for morning tea in Allora, a delightful little town set on the banks of Dalrymple Creek and once the home for author of Mary Poppins, Pamela Travers. Walk off the cake along the heritage trail following the creek and learn about the Allora story from the 33 sites on the way. Glengallan Homestead, a two-storey sandstone mansion was described as the 'finest and best finished in the Colony', when its first wing was completed in 1867; Cockatoo Cottage, ruins of a shepherd's sandstone cottage, or maybe visit Ghost Gate Road, where a farm gate mysteriously opens and closes without human help! At Rudd's Pub have a meal and hear the tales of Steele Rudd - Arthur Hoey Davis - author of the popular Dad 'n' Dave stories. Take a short stroll from the pub and learn about Sister Elizabeth Kenny known for her revolutionary treatment for the victims of polio. Sister Kenny and her mother are buried in the Nobby Cemetery. Then into Toowoomba, on top of the Great Divide to book into one of the fine accommodation houses in the capital of the Darling Downs only 38 kilometres from Nobby.
