Glenlyon Dam
It was -1c at Bingara when we woke. At least we are heading
north now then in a couple of days we will be at the coast. John pulled into a
garage at Warialda and someone told him his front driver’s tyre looked flat. Now,
we drive and put fuel in the truck. If anything else happens, we know nothing
about the mechanics etc. No idea of how
much air pressure to put in the tyres. A
man filling his Harley came over and before we knew it he was on his knees,
reading how much pressure there should be by looking at the writing on the
tyre, ha. Before we knew it all was ok. Apparently this guy had worked on the Harbour
Bridge, getting broken down vehicles off the bridge to keep the traffic
flowing. We will have to keep an eye on the tyre, so far so good.
Glenlyon Dam was another couple of hours away, 10 klms off
the highway. I noticed it on the map, before that we were going to spend the night
in Texas, just over the NSW border. A much better choice to be in a great spot
at the water, surrounded by kangaroos and a bonus was not many other campers. The kangaroos are very tame, we didn’t feed
them, but you can tell others do by the way they hang around.
The wood BBQ was a nice change, although we had had a
sausage sizzle on an electric bbq at Bingara and eaten most of the meat. I
found a couple of chops and hash browns so they went down well along with my
scotch and coke! It was the most we had paid for a powered site. $28.
It was warmer during the night by the water, also not as
cold in the morning. There was a fog that burnt off when the sun came up.
We packed up and left before 9am, John drove on a country
road to Stanthorpe, about 80 klms away where we had morning tea. We had smashed the passenger side mirror into a signpost last trip and got fixed, is now broken again
but the mirror is still intact. This time we knocked a piece off the back of it at
a pole beside a low level country floodway.
We arrived in Warwick about 12.30, found a supermarket and I
bought some groceries. We booked into the Oasis caravan park for the night.
Tomorrow we will be at the Gold Coast to spend couple of
nights with Shirl and Stewart.
