Tuesday is was on the road again this time heading east towards Moree, as the old Baz had Burren Junction on his wish list it worked in well for an over night stop at the Artesian Bore Spa Baths Camp.
We could not believe our eyes as heading east from the township of Burren Junction we could see a whole community of grey nomads, some go there for weeks at a time even months, we are at a loss to why! What a disappointment, the camping area was reasonable a level gravel area and the surrounding grounds well maintained but the pool was disgusting, slimy covered in algie, yuk yuk. We made the mistake of getting in as others were socialising in the warm water but we couldn't wait to get out of the swamp and shower off the slime! Reading on Wiki Camps people rave over the pool others say in the summer it is closed as the frogs and snakes move in! Still having night mares!
We rang the Gwydir Caravan Park in Moree to see if we could arrive a couple of days earlier than we had booked, no problems there, so we have been here since Wednesday and thoroughly enjoying the beautiful clean Artesian Pools it is always one of our favourite places to stop. Today has been a little cool only getting to around 18 degrees but lovely and warm in the 39 degree pool. We even had to use the umbrella to go over to the pool as a front has been crossing NSW and we have had quiet a bit of rain on and off today, our soak tonight was cut short as we had thunder and lightening and very heavy rain so safer out of the water.
The local butcher here at Moree will cook your roast for you, so I have been to see him and arranged for Roast Pork tomorrow night. Maree and Brian will arrive sometime tomorrow afternoon after six hours of travelling from Newcastle, so I am sure they will appreciate not having to cook. I will only need to do the veggies, too easy, hope he gets the crackle right.
