Moree turned on the most glorious morning for our departure. It was a more relaxed start as we were not leaving breakfast until 9am. This morning we had a 20minute drive to breakfast at a cotton gin on the outskirts of town. There was a wonderful breakfast served by the locals.
Leaving the cotton gin was a bit of a scramble to drive through the unloading bay for the cotton trucks. It was then a trek through more farms and flat countryside to Croppa Creek. Here we were able to fuel up before lunch and purchase a sticker for $20 as insurance to be rescued if you came a croppa in Croppa Creek. We were feeling pretty optimistic and felt that insurance was not necessary.
We had a wonderful baked dinner in the hall and met with the 15 children at the local school. The children had written stories and painted pictures for us to view.
Leaving Croppa Creek we headed over some badly rutted roads for about 40km to where they had prepared a huge mud puddle for us to cross. We were now beginning to think that we should have taken out the insurance. However Candy breezed through without a worry.
There was more in store for us as we had to pass through many water crossings - we were often stopped by those ahead of us who did not make it.
It was then on to a party stop just on the edge of Goondiwindi and then into town.
After dinner was Bash Idol, we were just the audience this year. The items are interesting.....
