After packing up and a quick grocery stop at Moree we continued our journey to the coast. The Gwydir River was very full and flowing fast as we crossed over it.

The scenery was becoming more hilly, green with lots of farming – pecan orchards, cattle and other industries.

We arrived at Inverell where we decided to stop for lunch in the park alongside the Macintyre River. The weir was overflowing and the gardens looks lush.

The town of Inverell was lovely – stately old buildings, everything looking well-kept but quiet as today was Sunday so not much was open.

The drive to Glen Innes was uneventful and as we arrived the town looked quiet but beautify with autumn colour coming on the trees and more old buildings.

We had planned to free camp just outside Glen Innes but when we got to the place it was tiny and right on the road – not really what it sounded like on Wikicamps so we found another free camp just south of Glen Innes which was much better – more room and toilets!

The view from the camp was over lush pastures with cows and sheep grazing peacefully in the fading light.

It had been raining and a spectacular rainbow came out over our camp!

After dinner we sat and listened to a sermon on Christ’s birth and purpose for His coming – very thought provoking as a reminder that this life is short and eternity is long – people need to consider the bigger picture, not just the here and now which is so fleeting. Giving your life to Christ gives you that eternal hope and a future beyond this life – an encouragement for every single person to read one of the Gospels in the Bible such as Mark to investigate who Jesus is and what he has done – ignoring the evidence and information that we have will have fatal consequences for eternity.
