We left Bourke at around 9 – first stop Brewarrina for a quick coffee….. Although a small place, Brewarrina had some great street art – which was well done and brightened up the town…






The Barwon River was very full – evidence of the recent downpours that NSW had been experiencing across the state since the beginning of the year…

Our lunch stop was Walgett – another small country town with a quirky café Stone’s Throw on the central roundabout where we bought some delicious pulled pork wraps….



As we crossed the Namoi River you could see how high the water was – and further along the road evidence of floodwaters still lingering in the low-lying areas.


The grain had obviously been recently harvested as there were huge piles waiting to be loaded onto trucks for transportation.

We drove past cotton fields in full bloom….

When we arrived in Moree, we set up in the caravan park and went to have an artesian hot spring spa – Moree is the home of some thermal springs and has many of them including ones in both caravan parks…
The spas were small, and one was already occupied by several people, so we jumped into the other one…. which was the cooler one (of course!!) Trev, Dave and I stayed in that one, but Rose did not mind sharing a bath with strangers, so she hopped into the 41-degree spa and soaked with 4 other randoms in the tiny pool……
The sites were close in the caravan park but no real issue as we were only there overnight….
