Firstly, apologies for those that noticed I reverted back to August for the last week or so, maybe I just want to keep travelling! Thank you to R who let us know. In case you are wondering why I have just used letters instead of our friends names, simple, not everyone wants their names plastered over the internet. Left the park at 7.30 this morning. Pretty eager to leave behind the traffic although it was a pretty easy run to Warwick. Fair bit of traffic but all ran along quite smoothly. We were heading for Goondiwindi Showgrounds for the night but arrived to find the Caravan Club of Queensland State Rally was on. Decided we didn't want to join the group so went into the township and had lunch. Back in the car and off to Moree. On the way there we had a truck overtake us but there was not enough time. We had to slam the anchors on to try and give him enough room to get back on the correct side of the road before he hit the car head on coming the other way. Bl---y idiot, but the worse thing was the car he was playing chicken with was a police car who did nothing. Next truck started to overtake and the same thing happened, except the car he was playing chicken with was a P plater. The third truck in the group passed fine because the truck now in front of us was signalling that it was clear. Was a bit scary, especially the first one who is trying to swing back in our lane with 2 trailers past us and one still coming. The stupid part was 3 minutes down the road we turned left and the three trucks were sitting at the intersection with a red light. Arrived and set up at our caravan park and then headed to the artesian hot pool for a dip and chat with fellow travellers. Back to the van to settle down for the night. The park has a sign next to the door of the amenities telling you to make sure you lock up your van and all your valuables. Fair enough, but when I went in to have a shower the sign said to lock your van even while you are in it. Hope it is a quiet night and no one tries to get in!
