We left
Narrabri at 8.53am and drove to Moree. Karen made inquiries about caravan
repairers and found there were none in town. We had a quick drive around Moree
and tried to find the plane on a stick that I had seen on a video but we had no
luck so we continued on towards Goondiwindi.
We
stopped for lunch at what we think was the Kulgari Bore Rest Area somewhere
between Moree and Boggabilla. After lunch we drove to Boggabilla and I wanted
to have a beer in the Wobbly Boot Hotel. Both Karen and Mary-Anne said
NOOOO!!!! at the same time. Then it was onto Goondiwindi and back into GOD’S COUNTRY.
We also gained an extra hour in Queensland.
We went
to the Visitor Information Centre and got the phone number and address of an
alleged caravan repairer in town. There was no answer on the phone so we drove
to the address. Just our luck - there was no one home. We decided to continue
onto Inglewood as there was still plenty of the day left. What a pleasure it
was to drive on Queensland roads again after being away for so long. At
Inglewood guess where we stopped first? Correct. At the Visitor Information
Centre. We got information on the Lake Coolmunda caravan park and decided to
stay there for our last official travelling night of our epic journey. It was a
great park with views of Lake Coolmunda and plenty of powered sites and water.
It was a bit hot though, about 36 degrees. However there was a breeze and shade
from the awnings to make for a relaxing afternoon.
