This morning we packed up our Karavan and had breakfast with Andrew. He had a busy day ahead of him with his usual long drive to some of his clients. Prue took a photo of his home front
We left Andrew’s home around the same time as he did which was about 0800. We had refuelled the Bravo the day before so we did not have to do that but we did get some items from Bi Lo.
Our path took us through Goondiwindi then onto the Newell Highway and across the Macintyre River and into New South Wales for the first time in 14 weeks. The road took us the short distance to Boggabilla where we left the Newell Highway and joined the start of the Bruxner Highway which will take us all the way to Ballina.
At around 1000, we stopped in the little village of Bonshaw where Prue made a cappuccino in the Karavan. We had stopped in the park beside the Bonshaw Primary school.
Then we left after a nice break and drove about 1 ½ hours to Tenterfield. We had booked a site at the Tenterfield Lodge Caravan Park. It is very clean and also very quiet as it is about 2 kms from the New England Highway. The Karavan was set up on the site and then we went for lunch.
Our destination for lunch was 8 kms from Tenterfield on the Bruxner Highway towards Casino at the Kurrajong Downs Wines and restaurant. We had a beautiful lunch and a great chat with another group of diners as well as the chef, Ashley.
Later in the afternoon we went for a cappuccino at the Willow Tree Cafe then we returned to the Caravan Park. There was the usual chat with some of the other travellers including several red wines before we had dinner.
This was the last night in the Kimberley Karavan on this trip.
