19 (Home) - 14 (Coonabarabran)
We were on the road at 0600h, nice and early. Our aim being to get as many km out of the way today as possible, without rushing. We did that, and have about 600km to complete tomorrow.
We stopped at Goomeri (breakfast), Kingaroy (mornos), Goondiwindi (lunch), roadside rest stop just outside of Moree (driver change), and finally here at Coonas. The predicted rain started as we left Goondiwindi, and by the time we were close to Moree, it was coming down in very large buckets. The wipers were not coping and when a semi came the other way, it was a total white-out. All drivers slowed down except for the semi drivers who are always in a hurry. There is a lot of water beside the road and laying around the countryside, particularly in the fields, so hopefully the farmers are happy.
We arrived in Coonas at 1745h under light drizzle, cooler temperatures, and darkness! All we wanted to do was get into the room and get settled, but the receptionist was a chatty woman, so 15 minutes later we were finally in our room - #10 at Clock Tower Motor Inn. A nice big room, with two queen beds and a single!
We ate in, did the blog, showered and hit the sack.
Sunset last night at Hippo Farm
The long, straight road
The brewing storm
The storm finally broke
Beauuuuuuutiful!
