The tiny township of Nindigully is located on the edge of the Australian outback, about 530km west of Brisbane, near the Queensland/New South Wales border. It has become famous for Australia’s biggest burger, the Nindigully Road Train Burger. This giant hamburger is served with French fries, onion rings and a selection of sauces, and costs $36. The meat patty alone is 1.2kg!

Nindigully Pub is Queensland’s oldest pub, located in its original position on the banks of the Moonie River. The licence was issued in 1864 after operating as shearers accommodation for the Nindigully Station.

Nindigully is a busy truck stop and is also popular with bikers, tourists and grey nomads. The highlight of the year is the annual pig races, held on the last weekend in November, which raises money for the Royal Flying Doctors.

Choclicious Chocolate Valentines Day Gifts

February 11th 2010 08:20

Chocicious Chocolate Teddy Valentines Day Gift

What better way to win a heart on Valentines Day than with a gift of chocolate? It is said that the way to a mans heart is through his stomach, but I believe that is true of women too. Chocolates stimulating and aphrodisiac qualities have been legendary since the times of the Olmecs, Mayans and Aztecs.
Chocolate is derived from the seeds of the Cacao tree, (pronounced Ka-kow), native to Central and South America. The bitter tasting seeds are fermented, dried and roasted to produce cacao ‘nibs’. Cocoa (Ko-ko) powder is made by grinding, crushing and pressing the ‘nibs’ to remove the oil, or cocoa butter. Manufacturers add sugar, vanilla, milk and extra cocoa butter to make milk chocolate.
