Day 5 Moree to Taroom

Wow, another biggy. We left Moree just on 9:00 this morning and called in at Goondiwindi to see friends at The Country Roads motor inn. It's situated on the Leichardt hwy next to Maccas and a servo that was the highest diesel seller in Australia. We passed by large paddocks sodden from the rain that fell right across the area over the last few weeks. Cotton "trash" lines the road on both sides out of Moree.Lunch today was at Moonie and quite a pleasant stop there today. We had lunch here 24 years ago and were nearly blown off the face of the earth. Heading North to Miles was new country for us today. From Goondiwindi, the traffic has lessened. The road has not improved though. A different observation now from seeing farm types of utes to seeing mining vehicles. Small caravan parks in the small towns now have a plethora of small cabins (dongers) in them and not much room for travellers, more's the pity.
