Crossing the Border

When we left Narrabri the following morning the sky was crystal clear looking towards Mount Kaputar.  That would be right.

Anyway, we travelled further north and had a nice morning tea and wander around Moree.  There are some lovely old buildings.  This is just a small taste.

From there it was time to cross the border at Goondiwindi.

A walk up and down the street was required and I noticed a couple of quite new murals down a lane.

We stayed a couple of nights with Jenny (Bird on the Border) and her hubby Bernie.

We had a lovely evening that first night sitting outside and enjoying pizza from the wood fired pizza oven.

The following day, we were given a guided tour of the town.  We have travelled through countless times, but generally have just stayed in the very central area.  There is a bush botanical gardens and a nice water park.  There is also a quirky row of sculptures.  I’ll just share a few.

Notice the little table setting underneath the large one and compare the sizes.  Rather fun.

Dinner that night was cooked by Bernie and was delicious.  Gail, who comes to Scrub Stitchin’ with Jenny, joined us.  Of course, I once again forgot to take a photo.

Bernie discovered that it would be Mick’s birthday in a couple of days and decided he needed a birthday cake, which was a rather lovely gesture and a rather delicious cake.  Mick was thrilled.

All too soon, it was time to get on the road again.  It was such a pleasure to spend time with good friends.
