To Moree and Wellington:

We headed off early in the morning so we would be able to have all day at the hot mineral springs in the caravan park at Moree. There are 5 pools here varying from 27 to 39 degrees. The mineral springs are renowned for their therapeutic benefits and people come from everywhere to relieve their aches and pains. My sore leg feel much better now. It is great to sit in the hot pools and chat about where you have been as well as pick up tips on where to go and what to see. Some folks stay for a day and others are there for months.
The next day we headed to Coonabarabran (my home territory) via Narrabri which is cotton country. You see lots of cotton lining the roadside. We even saw a cotton crop and it looked like it was covered with soft fluffy snow. It was another beautiful day and the mountains were blue and clear.
We had lunch in Coona with Gwen, Athol and Bron, old family friends. It was great to catch up and Gwen is an excellent cook so we enjoyed a delicious lunch.
We then forged on to Wellington. The countryside around here is gently undulating and picturesque. Wellington is a quiet country town with wide streets and friendly people. The caravan park is right on the Macquarie River and it’s very relaxing to sit and contemplate the peaceful scene. We love it here.

We are here to spend some time with Auntie Gwen, now 94. We did some chores for her and then we all had a picnic in the large shady park. In the afternoon we explored the town on our folding bikes. I’m so pleased we bought these nifty little machines. Tomorrow we are having a bbq lunch in caravan park which Gwen will enjoy and Tuesday we head to Dubbo to connect with my cousins and their convoy where the 4 vans will set off for Broken Hill.
