| One more cup of coffee for the road ... |
The last day of the tour - well the last day of the sprint home, at least.
We had a few issues getting fuel in St George. Finding a place open at 7:00am was one issue and when we did, the attendant not only didn't know what octane the the different variations of unleaded were but he didn't know what octane was.
The first leg to Mungindi was only interrupted by another mob of cows and some more green splatter for the car and caravan. So looking forward to the job of removing it. We drove past the Two Mile Hotel on the Qld side of the border, where I had some interesting experiences when I was on a Black Dog gig a few years ago. In the bar, they had a big, hand painted signed ...
STATE OF ORGAN
MATE V STATES
N.S.W. V Q.L.D.
I particularly liked the last line.
My accommodation was in a partitioned section of a shipping container out the back of the pub. No window, just a steel door and an air conditioner.
This trip, we stopped at the Daily Grind, just over the Barwon River and hence in NSW, for a delicious coffee, where for the first time since we left, we could get decaf and lactose free milk. I had a nice chat to two young ambos who were heading off duty and a young school teacher who was having an outing with her two young boys.
At Moree, Sue stretched her legs and importantly her back, while I topped up the fuel tank for the final time and made a few phone calls to sort out some issues for Dad.
At Warialda, we pulled up at the park on the edge of town and had sandwiches in the van until making the final run to Tamworth and home.

In Twenty days, we traveled nearly 2000kms to Cloncurry in far northwest Qld. In three, we returned. We had some new experiences, sorted out the last issues with the AVAN, traveled new ground to new places and had reached a state of total relaxation and peace.
It will happen again.
