We packed up in light rain at the Armidale Showground. Another van was waiting to take our spot. There were huge areas available but we must have chosen the best space.
The rain was negligible on the drive to Glen Innes. We stopped so Bluey and I could stretch our legs. On the main street two police officers were getting names and addresses from two boys aged about 12 years. Blue baulked at walking past the group so one of the officers moved out of the way for him.
Only a few shops were open and not many people were about so I could take photos of some of the town’s historic buildings.
There are several places close to the New England Hwy with interesting granite rock formations, but they are not generally accessible when towing a caravan. I have a geotourism map of many geological sites in NSW so will have to plan a trip to visit some.
We stopped for lunch in Tenterfield in a side street. Directly over the road was the Tenterfield Saddler building made famous by Peter Allen.
The rain returned and we considered stopping at a different caravan park near Stanthorpe, but then the rain eased so we continued on to Warwick.
We will spend two nights here on a drive-through site in a caravan park beside the highway. Tilly was being pestered by these noisy pheasants.
After setting up the awning in light drizzle, I walked Bluey around the park so he could get his bearings. We didn’t see any other dogs. We spent the rest of afternoon at home among the gumtrees, in the Bushtracker but not under any gumtrees.
