Stanthorpe, Qld 25.8.19

Departed Nanango about 10.30am after a 4km walk.



Heading to Stanthorpe showgrounds with a lunch stop and a short walk at Clifton.
 Wound up the camper and made our lunch, which we took across the road to the pioneer park.


 Bottle tree with a fairy door
 War Memorial
 Catholic Church
Old nuns convent has been turned into a BnB.
The big apple at Applethorpe.
We skirted around Toowoomba and the scenery was dry but beautiful. Finally made it to Stanthorpe showgrounds, set up and headed straight for a hot shower before the sun started dropping, along with the temperature.
 We went to the RSL for a beautiful but too large meal.

Coffee and chatting outside until it got too cold about 9.30ish.

Today we traveled 296.5kms
Total traveled 518.5kms

Today we leave the ridge and are heading to a freedom camp at the Nindigully Pub. We couldn't leave without a final hot dip. Morning tea stop was in Hebel, on the right side of the border 😆  The river didn't look very appealing  Lunch was at Thallon by the silos  Camped up by the Moonie river at the Nindigully Pub.  The pelicans weren't bothered by all the weeds in the water.  Art works at the pub. Friendly old fella I found on the toilet  The boys made a ripper of a fire  So we had ice creams  And toasted marshmallows Lots of campers here but still plenty of room. Today we traveled 233kms and the weather was absolutely perfect. Total of 1399kms hitched.
