Day 1

Yesterday we rode from Brisbane to Moree which was a tad over 500k's  in less than ideal conditions due to strong head winds. The temperature dropped below 10 degress as we got into Warwick, so we did a quick change into warmer clothes. After a quick coffee and refuel, we had a ride around teh streets of Warwick too look at some of teh lovely sandstone buildings including the court house and St Pauls Church.

The scenery along the roadside has been fantastic after all the rain. it is so green and there are fields of pink and yellow wild flowers all over the place. There is still lots of water laying in the table drains along the road.
We stopped at Inglewood for lunch and a play in the park just for fun..

There's a little kid in all of us.

Flood waters near Moree

When we reached Moree we setup camp and hit the thermal pools at the caravan park. The 39 degree water was wonderful to relax in after the long days ride. 

Overnight in Moree it got down to 4 degrees but we stayed warm inside the tent, though I did feel sorry for Marissa as she feels the cold more than I do, so I gave her my beenie at about 4am.

Touch wood we have awoken to a gorgeous day outside. No wind and clear skies and the ridding is so much easier than yesterdays windy conditions. We're currently at Macca's in Narrabri having breaky before continueing into Gilgandra to catch up with an old friend I haven't seen for 15 years, then heading onto Dubbo tonight to see another friend I haven't seen for a few years.
