Drive to Sydney and Home.....

Final drive to Sydney. Notice the train on the back of a truck - bit unclear as I was driving at the time - -but I truly think that this reflect on the strategy and policy of the old government in NSW towards public transport..!! And I arrive outside my place in Sydney - and my two babies get to see each other for the first time..!! This is the last post of my journey, and I have travelled 7,733 kms over four weeks..!! Many thanks to you all for sharing my travels and silly comments. To all those I have left behind in Northern Territory, I miss and love you all..!! To those who I have met along the way, many thanks for your kindness, thoughtfulness, and friendship, and to those I am returning to, nice to be back..!!!!!!!

Tamworth

Tamworth is quite an interesting town in New South Wales and the centre of the country music industry..!! Hence the "Golden Guitar"..!! Quite a lovely town. My thanks to Peter and Sandy for their wonderful hospitality at "The Retreat" B&B - would highly recommend, if you are going that way, stay with these folks. Most beautiful dinner, thanks Sandy, beautiful breakfast (with delightfully cooked eggs, Sandy, thanks), and a truly lovely room..!! On to Sydney..!!

And on into NSW

Goodiwindi is one of the centres of the horse breeding business..!! As you can tell..!! And on into New South Wales and on to Tamworth..!!

On to Goondiwindi

The little road I talked about - was really cute..!! Who said there was no water in central Queenland, have a look at the flow through St. George - the Church was very cute too..!! On to Goondiwindi - while approaching Goondiwindi I had a call from the B&B in Tamworth telling me that I didn't have a room for the following night and could I drive straight through to Tamworth as originally planned - 11 hours drive on Monday..!!

After Charleville

You all know that sometimes in life you have to make a left turn rather than going straight ahead despite advice, a bit like being a Christian really, but that is what happened in Mitchell..!! Against the advice of my GPS system which was going to take me via the main roads, I turned off and went on a minor road to St. George and, while saving over 100 kms, I came across the most amazing memorial..!! Have a read - it is really interesting.. Also, the little road was so scenic and well worth making a difficult decision..!!

Charleville

Charleville, what a strange little town - found it hard to get things to take photos of..!! So the local kangaroo and war memorial was the highlights..!! Onward (as in downwards..!!)..!!

And more to Charleville

More and more towns which I have never heard of..!! In Blackall, I wasn't sure of the sheep thing..!! So stayed away from it..!! I thought Seymours was a great store with all the things they sold and I wondered if luggage was really beside lingerie..!! Might be interesting, what you think..? I wonder what teh person who put Jericho there was thinking at the time..!! hehe Maybe that was his name....!! And Augathella the meat ant centre..!!! What on earth..!! :-)
