Day 33: Thu 17 Mar - Goondiwindi to Toowoomba

Walk: 2.4km

Drive: 222km 

We had a leisurely morning. Greg went for a walk, then we had breakfast and started packing up. We left the van park just after 9am and first up was a stop for fuel. Eventually left Goondiwindi about 9:30am.

Our first real stop was in Millmerran for mornos.  We stopped in this cute little rest stop with nice shady seating areas.  Just as we were settling in, a couple from the same van park last night pulled in.  As Wendy always has plunger coffee, the lady made a comment at how civilized we were drinking 'real' coffee and all!!

After mornos we made our way to Toowoomba at a leisurely pace.  Although the road was quite good, it was not necessary to race as Bob and Prudy were not going to be home until after lunch.  We arrived in Toowoomba about 12:15pm and found a park to have lunch in, parked-up and made lunch.  As there were no seats available near us, we ate in the van and had a little rest - reading and surfing the net.

As we were not really sure where we were, we used the Sat Nav to get to where we wanted, and 5 mins later we were there.  Bob and Prudy were very interested in the van so we showed them through it and then went inside the house for a brew.  Wendy then had a snooze whilst Greg stayed with Bob and had a good chat.

Wendy and Prudy were going to go for a walk, but Michael turned up so we all had another brew and a long chat. So long in fact that it was almost time for dinner so the walk did not happen.  We had a lovely light dinner of ham and salads and then Robbie and Wendy came around just to say hello.  Talked for ages and it was a later night than usual.
