Back In Our Home State - Queensland

Yep, this was our event for our trip up to Goondiwindi on the Newell Highway.

Lucky for us we were on a long straight and quickly found a bit of bitumen to pull off on to change the tyre.  This happened on the back left tyre of the rig not the truck thank goodness.  All is well, we got ourselves a replacement in town before tripping around to see the sights here.

Very interesting Information centre at Narrabri with this display of the local industries - cotton growing and grain growing as well as stock farming.

Goondiwindi has the Macintyre River flowing through it with a picturesque Lions Park beside it with the statue of "Goondiwindi Grey" horse that was a renowned winner of many races over its four or more years of racing.  That stands alongside the old bridge that one used to drive over from the south.

The Old Victoria Hotel has been restored and is still offering accommodation to its partons as well as the bars etc.  I noticed at the Information Centre, one can go on a tour at 11am through the old building.

 Stayed at the Big 4 Caravan Park which is one of the nicest, friendliest parks.   Tony and his couple of helpers offer cuppa and damper each day 4.30pm Monday to Friday.

Tony hands out his sheet of recipe dampers for all campers.  Will go back tonight after a soak with Wayne in the hot artesian swimming pool and spa.
