Day - 4. Toowoomba

Upon arriving at our Alexander Motor Inn last night, we found that it did not have a restaurant for dinner.  The owner had a great sense of humour, saying "don't stay here, there's a great restaurant just down the road at the Burke and Wills.  I'll give them a call for you and book you in".  And he did!!

From Moree to Toowoomba today the road was quite rough with very long straight stretches and many long trucks travelling in both directions.  The scenery was very flat and mostly dry, with little of interest.  

So much for coming to Qld for the warm weather!!  The temperature was 11C decrees for most of the way, and at Toowoomba it is raining, the fog is down to 600m and the city is 700m altitude, so we are in the clouds with the heater on high in our room.

Tomorrow we may enter some warmer temperatures.


Interesting facade of a hotel in the centre of Goondawindi, which we passed en route.


Millmerran Bakery - a funny little outlet in a quaint little town where we paused for lunch today.


The pool and fog from our motel window in Toowoomba.


Another view of the fog.  Our vehicle is parked at the left.
