Day 25 - Ewingar to Texas
We had instructed Neill to give us an update on Jude’s condition by 7:30am, in case she would have preferred to stay put. But she said she was OK to drive so we started the pack up. We were on the road before 9:30am but the drive out of there and then up the hill to Tenterfield took two hours. The Showgrounds was our destination for water to fill our tanks, dump Point and our morning tea location. Then we found a fuel station so it was after 12pm before we left Tenterfield. Heading north again (we drove this road a couple of weeks ago) we didn’t go too far on the same road before turning off onto the Bruxner Highway again and heading west. It was tricky to find a spot to pull over for lunch so it wasn’t until the hamlet of Mingloo where we propped in front of the local school. Back on the road for the last 60km into Texas and we crossed the Dumaresq River into Queensland for our free camp on the river banks. There were plenty of others camped here, and big black clouds bearing down so we found a quieter spot builder up the river bank and made it inside the vans just before the rain and wind hit. We all caught up on news and social media after four days off grid until our Uber Eats dinner appeared at our door, courtesy of Rhonda and Peter. Even the TV works here so we all enjoyed nights in our own vans. But we continue to keep an ear on the rain as we can see they have had a fair bit of rain here in recent times - judgng by the debris caught in this tree next to our van, the water level was pretty high!
