Middleton was the middle one of nine horse changing stations for stagecoaches on the run between Winton and Boulia - a 384 km trip then taking four days. Nothing remains of the other eight coach stations, making this one of the most isolated pubs in Queensland. The coach run here operated until somewhere between 1915 and 1920 and at that time Middleton had a school, police station, store and community hall. Only the pub still operates.

This seemed an appropriate image to follow that of the silo art featuring cart horses. Taken at the tourist village part of Echuca, where we were holding our National Muster of the Renault 4CV Register of Australia. Some of the little Renault 4CVs are peeking into the image in the PiP . Wishing everyone a Happy Fence Friday and a safe and enjoyable weekend.
