Anyone for steak?

SALES YARD, ROMA is a national icon having had the honour of being Australia's largest selling centre of cattle for many years. Today they were selling fattened stock with one lot of stock averaging 785 kilos each.
THE BIG RIG, Roma has a lot of natural gas and oil that was discovered over 100 years ago, with natural gas going by a 450km pipe to service Brisbane. Origin Energy is going to be spending $35 billion dollars in the next few years in the surrounding area on these resources, so Roma is set to boom!
ROMAVILLA WINERY is right next door to the caravan park, didn't need to stagger home as we only tried one drink and I purchased a bottle of Muscat. This is Queensland's oldest winery established in 1863 and the timber barrels smelt divine.
BOTTLE TREES and Roma likes it to be known that they are not Boab trees. The one on the right hand side has a girth of 8.9 metres.
Are you listening to me?
