Our early morning walk was shorter today as it was moving day. After breakfast we hooked up and were on the road just after 8 am.
If we had still been at the caravan park, we may have seen or heard the plane that crashed at Dugandan, about 1.5 kms from our site as the crow flies.
We refuelled at Warwick paying $1.78 per litre for premium diesel. The price was well over $2 per litre as we headed further south.
After having a short walk in Tenterfield, we ate at the Courtyard Cafe in the historic School of Arts building. Anita’s pie was a bit dry, but my New York cheesecake was great. It is a very dog-friendly cafe with a large undercover area.
The highway runs through the main street of Tenterfield, which is lined with historic buildings. Most have retained their original external features.
Anita booked us into the Glen Innes Showground for three nights. When we arrived, she realised she had confused this showground with the Armidale showground, where she thought we were going! We parked near the gate and 50 m from the new toilet/shower block. Once set up, we spent the afternoon in the van as it was hot outside.
We had an early meal at the Services Club. It was still warm when we walked the 800 m downhill. Our meals were very good and cheap. I had the lasagne special with salad and vegetables. Anita had to pause a couple of times walking back up the hill!
We walked past this lovely mural advertising a second-hand business. Otherwise, most of the houses we walked past were not as well kept as the Queenslanders in Boonah.
