26th September 2008

Cool morning again as it was down to around 11 degrees. It takes a while to readapt to the lower temperatures especially after being in high temperatures in the far west. Once the sun comes up it warms very quickly and the days are really nice.

We did a slow pack up in St. George this morning. It is a tight fit in the Kamarooka Tourist Park especially on the eastern side. I had to reverse onto the Karavan at a very sharp angle and was assisted to line up not only by Prue but also another friendly camper.

We set off from St. George on the way to Nindigully. It is not much more than an historic pub with a hall, tennis courts, and several houses as well as free camp sites by the Moonie River. Facilities are free to use at the pub. There is quite a lot of memorabilia in the old pub. It is really worth a stop. Meals can be had at the pub.

Leaving Nindigully, we proceeded to Goondiwindi where we arrived around 1200. We set the Karavan up in the drive of Andrew’s home. No awning needed here. Prue put some washing on.

Then we went into Goondiwindi CBD to have lunch at Neen’s Coffee Shop which is in the rear portion of a Jewellers Shop. It appears to be very popular. The meal was excellent. After lunch, Prue went into Coorey’s and eventually bought some clothing. I wandered around the Mitre 10 shop then we both walked around the street having a look.

Goondiwindi is a really nice town and it is always so welcoming when we arrive here.

In the evening we went to the Railway Hotel for drinks and a nice dinner
