Moree Retirement Village

Sorry, I have been MIA for over a week and now I have to catch up. That will test the brain cells!
Another awful trip on Qld roads. You could really tell the difference once we crossed the border into NSW.
We have just spent two nights in Moree, which is memorable for two things; the artesian thermal baths in the caravan park and the locals.
This has been the most intimate caravan park we have stayed in. By intimate I mean you will be inches from your neighbour's van. But at least we got to make new friends.
Because of the thermal pools the park is full of older folk. Remember the pool scene from the movie Coccoon? Yeah, it's a bit like the before scene. We are all feeling very young staying here.
Walked around town yesterday. Ruby had a chihuahua rush out to have a go at her. Poor Rubes was getting swung around on her lead trying to evade the vicious little jerk. If I am being attacked late at night I'd rather have a chihuahua than a rottweiler as a bodyguard.
Dave and Graham met some of the lovely locals. One called them poofters (I blame that on Dave's moustache and the fact he used the ladies toilets in 1770). Dave said hello to another local and he said, and I quote, "I will smash your head in you c****s". Charming. Dave made a new best friend at the pub last night with one of the local drunks. He is like a magnet.
Pete is on suicide watch today because the Dockers made the grand final.
But for all that Moree was actually a nice town. And I managed to get a bit more shopping squashed into the van. Winning!
Off to Tamworth today. Yeehaw.Read more
