DAY 1

JUNE 1ST

Weather  cool fine


We left Highfields at 7am light frost on the ground headed for Mullaley to Stev and Kay for the night. We went to Millmerran on the new  Gore highway was very quick. We hit a Kangaroo Highfields side of Inglewood, got a slight dent in the left hand front side of the caravan and missing a light cover. Not a good start to the holiday but could have been a lot worse. Stopped at Moree at our favourite coffee place and toilets in park where very interesting with button to press to get in and out and soothing music whilst you where occupied and American voice giving instructions on how to get in and out of toilets.!
We arrived at Kay and Stev's at 3pm.
