National Seniors Bus Tour To Miles
- The Murgon branch of National Seniors will be running a tour to Miles west of Chinchilla today. Miles was originally named Dogwood Crossing (after Dogwood Creek, which runs through the town) but was renamed in honour of the Queensland Colonial Secretary, William Miles. Today it's an agricultural town with a population of around 1,100 but may boom again in the future because of coal seam gas. It's also a little-seen, little heard-of town that will be fun to explore. Tickets for the trip are $52 per head and anyone is welcome to come along, whether you're a National Seniors member or not - but you'll need to book by Monday, May 13th and the bus will leave at 6:00am. You can obtain more details about bus pick-up points and departure times and/or make a booking by phoning Paula on (07) 4168-3114 or (0438) 708-885.
