Saturday April 17, 2010 – To Moree

Just as we finished up packing the car it started to pour rain. We waited a short while to get in the car but the rain did not let up. We made a wild dash to the car. It poured rain for most of the trip by the sunshine coast. Once Charles turned the wipers on faster and it rained harder.

Thank goodness the rain stopped before Brisbane. Our GPS unit had a hissy fit. It would not stay on the map. It wanted to help us find police station. It was very frustrating. There was lots of colourful language going on in the car. At least she kept talking to us so we could make out way through the Brisbane suburbs and on to Toowamba.

We stopped for lunch at Millmerrran. It was a quiet little place. Most everything was closed up for the afternoon. Just the pub and liquor store were open. They had a beautiful painting on the side of the town water tank.

As we traveled further south we started to see cacti. There were tall and had red flowers on them. This was the most cacti we had seen on our trip. There was a lot of traffic on the road especially trucks. It was a pleasant trip.

Moree is known for its hot pools. The campground where we are staying has some very nice ones. It was so relaxing to get in them after the long day.
