Monday 30th April 2007, Millmerran.
We are now in Queensland, having crossed the border at Goondiwindi. We have now moved another 250 kilometres, via Goondiwindi to Millmerran, see map. We heard about Millmerran from Ida, her and Barry used to stop here on their way home from their Queensland winters. It seems quite a nice small […]

Sunday 29th April 2007, Moree.
We did have a good soaking of rain over the last couple of days, and so did most of NSW and Vic, and hopefully this is just the first of more to come. It is now looking like fining up, and after booking in here for an extra two days we […]

Still at Moree, and could be for a while. Not long after arriving in Moree I told Linda that if there were anywhere that we should sit for a few extra days, I feel that it could be here. Every now and then we come by a place that just gives […]

Thursday 26th April 2007, Moree.
First: Yesterdays post was not meant to be too negative about Gilgandra, as Linda pointed out it could have been. We had only intended being there for two days of rest only. There are quite a few things to do and see there, but we didn’t bother enquiring. Never-the-less I don’t […]

Gilgandra

Wednesday 25th April 2007, Anzac Day, Gilgandra.
Gilgandra is a nice enough small town, but I’m afraid it doesn’t do a great deal for me. I even had to force myself to walk around town today to do my usual thing of taking a few pictures, but if I hadn’t I wouldn’t have any memory shots. […]

That was a relaxing 3 days at Parkes, but we were reasonably glad to leave as the caravan park didn’t over impress us much, or was it just the manager. He was very pedantic about rules, being a Justice of the Peace, and his biggest stir was the rent assist form […]

Parkes

Saturday 21st April 2007, Parkes.
Today saw us move to Parkes, see map, about 200k further north. We only intend being here for about three days, with not much in mind to do. Maybe I can send Linda to the information centre to see if there is something she wants to do on Monday, but otherwise […]

Thursday 19th April 2007, Temora.
A visit to a small town 35k west called Ariah Park was the order of the day. Ariah Park is a town that the locals have tried to keep looking as it did back in the 20’s, and there are plenty of old buildings. They also have scattered around town some […]

We had another visit to the Aviation museum today. As already mentioned we came here for a day trip from Wagga on Easter Saturday to see the flying day at the museum and swore to return. Well now we have, and thoroughly enjoyed it. It was nice to get a close-up, […]

Tuesday 17th April 2007, Temora.
We have now moved from Darlington Point to Temora, See map, about 150k to the east of Griffith. We have visited here on Easter Saturday for the flying day at the Aviation Museum, and declared then that we must return for a few days, we had already planned a visit anyway.
The […]
