Bargara to Cooyar

Departed at approx.7.30am after saying hooray to good friends (neighbours). Drove back home within 10minutes to collect the all important mobile. Friends welcomed us back saying Gosh it doesn't seem that long ago that we said our goodbyes.
Stopped at Ban Ban Springs for smoko. Although Dearest Departed pronounces it Bam Bam!? Where are Barney and Betty I ask?
Had lunch and a good look at Nanango. Funny how country folk seem so relaxed and perhaps a little curious about new folk in their area. I was walking across the main street in Nanango as a lady pulled out from the kerb, stopped in the middle of the road and asked me. "If your lookin' for a supermarket there's one round the corner".Anyway we didn't like the Lions park as a stop over for the night. Too grubby and noisy. So we ventured on to Cooyar and stayed at Swinging Bridge Rest area behind the local pub. $5 for power, $2  for a shower at the pub and a free have a chat from the pommy man who pulled up next to us. John and wife Donna, nice folk and their even nicer young beagle pup, Maddie.
Went to bed with a sheet over us woke up early hours rather cold. Scratched around for the doonas etc.
MONDAY:- Cooyar to Goondiwindi........yes you read it correctly! Took our time at first as we were going to have a look at a camp site at Waga Creek. Not to be, it was right on the side of the Gore Hwy. very dusty and of course noisy from big rigs travelling constantly. Not much of anything offering along this road at all so we pressed on and are now in a caravan park at G'Windi ($25p). Not what we had planned but you get that. We did spend sometime at Millmerran, a nice town.
Tomorrow we think we will have a good look around G'Windi and take it easier for the rest of the week???? We will head for Moree, Warialda, Barraba. There seem to be several free camps in that region. As you know Stockys. Sign off for now....nite nite.
