Texas - Moree

As we were enjoying our time at Bonshaw Weir we decided to spend another night there and enjoy another of  Ken's campfires. As the fire was still smoldering from the previous night I thought it was a good opportunity to cook a roast in our camp oven, which Baz and I enjoyed that evening. Earlier in the day Baz and I were returning to the camp when Baz found a shedded snake skin, it was a good 1.5 metres! He had already seen a large black snack slithering across the road down near the bridge when he was trying his hand at a little fishing. The fish were too smart for him, or maybe they didn't like the Wattle Grub he had on his line. I made sure that we kept the caravan door closed incase we had an unwelcome visitor, as another camper had also seen a couple of snakes down over the bank towards the weir.

Sunday we decided that we would move onto the free camp at Texas but were reluctant to leave our new friends, so after exchanging our contact details we drove the big distance of 20klms to Texas. The camp area that is provided for RV travellers is a couple of klms from the town along the river bank. We found a nice clean grassy spot to stop for the night. There were about 30 other vans, motorhomes & camper trailers that were spread out along the river, even with this many it did not feel crowded, there was plenty of space.

We arrived here at Moree on Monday and booked in for three nights, it didn't take us long before we were once again soaking our bodies in the lovely artesian pools and enjoying the 27 degree day. I had made an appointment to have my hair cut on Tuesday, as when we were here on our way up I had visited the hairdresser and really liked how she cut my hair. I don't think she cut it this short last time, but it does feel and look so much better. With the washing done this morning all that was left to do was laze in the pools and sit in the sun enjoying the warmth trying not to think about the colder days ahead as we get closer to home.
