Bingara NSW

near Barraba NSW

Sunday 8th July.

John and I left Tea Gardens on Friday and drove through Raymond Terrace to Maitland and the New England highway stopping at Aberdeen for morning tea in the park. John only drove until Murrurundi and we booked into the Pages River caravan park for the night. Its a council run park, only one other small van there for the night . It was very quiet and we had a good night's rest. John couldn't stay awake for the footy and was asleep early.
I miscalculated and said that Saturday morning's temp was about 5c but I think it was only about 1c. It was very chilly!
We were on the road early after breakfast, had a morning tea stop at Barraba and were in Bingara by lunchtime. Passing through Tamworth, I think every horse and float in Australia was at the giant  Livestock centre. Lots of big rigs and many horses.
We have had two nights at Bingara caravan park, it is well maintained and friendly.  John walked into town to get a paper and bread, it was a long walk and some kind soul drove him some of the way back.  The Gwydir River is close by. The days are lovely, the nights very cold. It was 1c this morning. We have decided to stay at Glenlyon Dam tomorrow night. It's in Texas, Queensland, just over the border.
