With day light savings the sun doesn't get up very early and I saw no reason why I should. After a lazy brekkie and pack up I hit the road towards Texas and then Goondiwindi. About 50 or so Kms before Goondiwindi there were 4 camping reserves that backed onto the the river and provided free camping for up to 14 days.
There was no facilities but there were tons of shady spots and very few people using them. I stopped in to look at each one along the way and would definitely spend a couple of days simply chilling out.
In Goondiwindi I returned to form, with lunch at the bakery and then refueled the car, before heading west. This is a fairly boring drive but I was trying to stay as close to the border as possible. At Talwood I turned south and crossed the border/river again and lost an hour of my life, again. Following some back roads I came to Mungindi situated right on the border/river. There is tons of room on the QLD bank of the Barwon river for camping, so after checking it out, I went for a drive out to see the One Ton Post.
This post was used to mark out where the QLD/NSW Border went from the crinkly one where it followed rivers and ridge lines to the dead straight line that heads west to Cameron Corner. It's only a couple of Kms out of town and well sign posted.
Back on the Barwon river I set up camp and relaxed. Very pleasant view and the internet speed is pretty good for a change.
I now need to plan where I'll be heading tomorrow but it's probably north towards Mitchell.
