After a slow start this morning we have arrived at Goondiwindi, home of the ‘Goondiwindi grey’ Gunsynd. Our vehicle has performed well with no mishaps. First time for both of us driving one of these 4wd tanks, parking can get a bit tight and I can see why shopping centre car parks should be a no go zone for them. A bit tight for time on arrival so we are spending  tonight in a motel rather than camping under the stars. In the morning will have a quick look around the town before moving onto Walgett for the next stop.

Well arrangements are now in place…almost…for the start of our road trip on the Darling River Run. The trip takes us from Brisbane in Queensland out west through Warwick and Goondawindi into NSW for our first night in Moree. From there we head to Bourke and down the Darling River to Wentworth where the river joins  the Murray River,Australia’s longest, which forms the border with Victoria.

We set off on Thursday 2 June in the early morning.
