Here is another small but tidy town, a great pleasure to have seen.
St George: Cotton area. There is cotton all along the highway and yes we stopped to collect some. What an experience it would be if we could spend the day picking cotton on the farm.

Thallon tonight: extremely small town. Stayed in the town oval $4.00 per head a night. Just us not a sole to be seen. Cheapest night yet.
Looks like nothing happens here but look deeper and you will find a train and semi's filling up with grain. Hub of the area. Great night John had his fire going and used an old metal chair for the barbecue.
Arrived in Moree for tonight. We went into the thermal pools and felt great.They have 5 pools of thermal water.

All food bowls. Grain, cattle, cotton, wheat and canola. This is another area wanted to be mined and then we will forfeit the healthy farming area we have here and this would be a catastrophe
Qurindi then onto beautiful Wingin. Beautiful country side along here.
Scone for tonight then onto Musselbrook then home safe and sound.
What an amazing journey we have had over the last 7 months. Thank you all and thank you God for making it possible and returning us safe to our families.
