Aug 27-28 - Across the border to NSW

We know we are heading south because it's raining. Actually it was pouring! We drove through Condamine, which was flooded 6 months ago. The current rain was the first decent rain that they've had since. Good for them; bad timing for us.

The Big Cow Bell at Condamine - very wet!

The rain just got heavier as we made it to Goondoowindi. Too wet to get out of the car so we kept going into NSW and stayed at a van park at Boggabilla. Nothing special, in fact pretty run down. Woke up to a heavy mist in the morning, but cleared enough that we could go back have a look around Goondoowindi.

Brrr, waking up in Boggabilla NSW

A good-looking hotel in the main street of Goondi

Nice art-deco buildings in Goondi

The only thing that Goondiwindi is famous for

Then we headed further south towards Moree. Stopped in Moree for a look around and then went on to find a camp spot about 20km out of town - Gum Flat Public Reserve. Not only was the site good, the weather cleared and we were the only campers there. The only downside was the rubbish left behing by previous campers. We lit a fire and collected a load rubbish for incineration. We could have stayed longer, but we did check out rather late the following day.

Nice grassed area on the banks of a river

Interesting reflections on the river at dusk

Despite being the only campers, we were woken up by something rubbing against the back of the van
