Geoffs Life After Work !

Stanthorpe and Glenn Innes New South Wales and other places

We were up early today after our first night in the bus after a few months relocating houses.We travelled thru Stanthorpe a large apple growing area that comes apparent when passing by virtue of the large advertising Big Apple model (no relation to New York)  Australians are renowned for large iconic models (hopefully Tamworth will have a large Guitar or the like !!!)  We have settled in for the night at Glenn Innes a very Gaelic community mainly Scots/Welsh and Isle of Mann (did you know the Manx cat (I.O.M) has NO tail?) We passed thru the Gap in the Great Dividing Range which at times wa a wee bit scary because some of the road is disappearing down the mountain !! (Roadworks are being rectified as I write) We passed thru Tenterfield (just over the NSW border) where apparently the Federation of Australia was born The speech was made by Sir Henry Parkes The campsite here is again very friendly and tomorrow we are heading for the Country (not to be confused with Country & Western as advised by a local,my neice) music capital of Australia Tamworth
