Lightning Ridge Trip - day 1 and 2

Hello again,

Yes, we are on the road again with Lightning Ridge being our destination this time. We will be meeting up with the Adria caravan club on Tuesday and will be there for a week. We left Saturday morning with some very welcome rain, so hopefully we will have a bit of green grass to mow when we get back home. We headed to Toowoomba with very poor visibility as we drove up the range.







The weather started to improve slightly after Toowoomba. We drove to Millmerran which was our first stop over. The rain started just after we set up and got heavier as the night went on. However we woke this morning to a cloudless sky. They had about 30 mm of rain overnight. There was a cool breeze, so still a bit cool today.




Day 2.
We left Millmerran for Moree this morning. A big contrast to yesterday's weather.


As we headed towards Moree, via Goondiwindi, the clouds started to develop. As we have stayed at Goodiwindi twice in the last couple of years, we didn't stop there this time.




We arrived at Moree about 12.30. We had a bit of look around Moree this afternoon - nothing much happens around town on a Sunday!!!!
Moree is known for its Hot Artesian springs. This area proudly boasts the largest pecan farm in the southern hemisphere, olive groves, a high-quality beef-cattle industry, numerous cotton farms and cereal crops, such as wheat, barley, chickpeas and oats.

We will stay here tomorrow and leave for Lightning Ridge on Tuesday.

Bye for now,
Lesley and Peter.
