On Our Way Home

 Following the reunion we commenced our drive home.  Our first stop was Toowoomba which is located about an hours drive north of Brisbane, the capital city of Queensland.   We stayed at a very pleasant motel which had a number of its floweres starting to bloom.  It is now spring in Australia.  This is a pointsettea bush.

  Here we enjoyed a great meal in the restuarant where we were staying for the night. We started off with a warm cobb loaf.

The main course was so large , Ross enjoyed the ribs and Beverley the steak.

We continued on our way with our next stop being Glenn Innis, NSW.  The rain clouds were starting to form.  Rain is badly needed in many parts of Australia.

We arrived in Glenn Innis at lunch time so we popped into the Grand Central Hotel for a light lunch.  It was a real suprise and was decked out with fairy lights.

The coffee was very good.

The soup was delicious.

We over nighted at the New England Motor Inn, Glenn Innis, a place we used to stay in anytime we were in this town.  It has a very comforable feel.

Dinner consisted of smoked salmon with goat cheese and asparagus.

As well as tampura king prawns.  Both dishes were very tastey.

 Today we are Tamworth.  This is where each year in Feburary the Country Music Awards are held.   Tamworth is Australia's Nashville.   It is a very pretty town.

Lunch was delicious.

Cheers,

Beverley and Ross
