Moree is in NSW close to the Queensland border and until a few weeks ago we had never heard of it! but we have been here 4 days and plan to stay until next Tuesday morning, we have found it to be a restful place and a good opportunity to stop and take stock. We are also happy to avoid the busy roads as this weekend is a holiday for their Queen’s birthday, plus my birthday and that of child 1 and several other friends as well, you will know who you are so happy birthday, - so all in all a time of celebration, perhaps a chance to try the local champers if there is such a thing and there are several Thai restaurants in town.
Moree’s main attraction is artesian springs and there are 4 hot pools in this caravan park - all occupied by those of a similar age, hardly a young one in sight. It is a strange sight in the morning to see shadowy shapes of all sizes wrapped in towels or clad in dressing gowns, feet in Crocs (the footwear of choice!) shuffling off to ease their rheumatics in the hot water - the pools are open between 7am and 10 pm and are popular at all times, needless to say we watch the early morning parade from our bedroom window and tend to be late starters. However we have found that the minerals in the water have eased our aches and pains and are great for skin condition.
Last night we had barramundi which we bought and cooked for our evening meal (with garlic, chilli, coriander, lime juice and snow peas) - today L bought a bucket of worms - the fishing around here is supposed to be pretty good so who knows!
Nice! How about a photo of you Helen!
ReplyDeletehi you guys
ReplyDeleteWe have somwhow managed to loose the plot in lots of ways but we have been watching your blog with interest! It has taken about 3 hours for Dave to master the response to your blog with his new laptop toy which he swears is mine!
Your trip sounds absolutely brilliant. The family have managed to sabotage all our internet connections!! for at least a month
We have been travelling around too. Went to London for a week Kirstie was 17 at the end of May so we took the caravan down. Pam has started a new relationship with one of Steves old friends and e seems to be taking care of her a Kirstie.
Dave is cool with the idea because he says it is not the problem His problem isthat Steven is not here anymore.
I agree with this sentiment but it is not the general view of things!
We then went off for a fortnight to Dorset I love the place and feel I should have been born there. We had a good time very claming and very restful. Dave looks a hundred times better.
We needed the space and the peace and quiet.
Your pics are brilliant and you are giving us a different view of Oz. Loved the paraskeets and Laurie in the cold!
Thats the update and I will use Dave's new toy to blogg you regularly We can be skyped now at anytime!!!!!
