Moree/Goondiwindi

Maree & Brian arrived at Moree last Friday and it has been great to have their company, many stories and lots of laughs never a dull moment. After spending the long weekend lounging around in the Thermal Pools Maree, Keren & myself thought we could do with some retail therapy, could not believe we took 5 hours to walk the Main Street in Moree! I am sure Baz, Brian & Alan were getting a little worried we may have worn out the plastic, I was quick to reassure Baz that I had saved him lots of money as I only brought discounted items. 

Baz & I managed to fit in a last dip in the Thermal Pool this morning before leaving, we only had 130 klms to travel to our next destination Goondiwindi. The weather has certainly improved over the last week with lovely blue skies with the temp today reaching 23 degrees. I am sure that as soon as we crossed the NSW - QLD boarder I felt the temperature rise. Arriving at the Big 4 Goondiwindi around 11am we had time for a quick cuppa before going into town for lunch and of course finding a few more bargains, if I keep this up I will run out of space in the van. We also visited the Cotton Shop located in the town, and have now put on our must do list a Cotton Farm Tour, unfortunately will not have time this visit as we will be heading off tomorrow making our way to Toowoomba where we will stay for a couple of days. Maree & Brian will be leaving us tomorrow making their way to Burrum Heads near Hervey Bay, we will catch up with them again early in July. The very nice lady at the Cotton Shop directed us to an Orange Farm a few klms out of town explaining to us that the Oranges should be nice and sweet after the frosts that they have had in the area lately. Oranges had not been on our shopping list, but of course if recommended by a local you have to try them. She was right lovely and sweet.

Returning to the caravan park mid afternoon I had time to try out the spa before joining the communal happy hour for Damper and a Cuppa. There were five variations of Damper, Mixed Fruit, Cheese, Garlic & Onion, Date and Chilli, of course I had to try them all.
