Moonie - Goondiwindi - Moree July 2015

Well! are you looking for cheap diesel, I found it in Moonie and if you're interested in huge wild boar heads, there is a large display mounted on the walls of the garage. This large garage / diner is on the cross roads of Miles to Goondiwindi and Dalby to St George. There is an information centre with a camping area behind it directly across the road from the garage but that's all there is.

Arrived at the border town of Goondiwindi, a very large busy town and found......
Hmm! I remember this race horse, a Melbourne cup winner?

 

Saying goodbye to Queensland, saddened to leave and happy to be back in my home state.

Continuing on toward Moree and remembering the showground situation last time, I looked up Wikicamp and found a free camp beside the Tarran Creek 5 kl before the town, its a truck stop with room enough to park off to the side and soon enough I was joined by another free camper parked just up from me. I had a happy evening snapping the last blue moon as it rose up, which wont be seen again until 2017. Why are they called blue moons when they are not blue, you might ask? It is the occurrence of a second moon rising in a single month, has nothing to do with the colour.

 

I captured a speeding car passing my camera, I thought that was pretty special. 
 
Moree completes my 2 month travel loop, passing through here on June 5th, its now August 1st.
