Tamworth and Moree

The artesian spring/thermal pools at Moree. We were amazed by the tree size cactii growing by the side of the road which were unexpected in this environment. There are four pools at the park, ranging in temperature from 39 degrees to 34 and supposedly have great therapuetic capabilities and , would you believe, Bert could jump over the BIG PLANE after his first session? Hmmm, I thought not.

The towns have amazingly wide streets around here-nothing else to do with all that space? We decided it is because they all have angle parking, which takes up quite a bit of road space. This is the town clock across the road from the Bicential park in Tamworth. We went tothe Golden Guitar Centre and wax museum, Tamworth Hall of Fame, Oxley Lookout etc

Moree had its version of the Big -------; it was a DC3 from New Guinea, WW2.

A friendly old guy was celebrating his birthday with some mates at the GG Centre and wanted to do his bit for touris. We think he must have been related to Slim Dusty. Lee Kernigan's wax model flattered him-the ears were very dainty!

After Tamworth we drove to Coonabarabran for the night and are forced to begin acclimatising for home. A lovely sunny 12 degrees during the day and very cold now. Having a great time and heading for Dubbo tomorrow; will do the Western Plains Zoo-should be fun.
