Snow Drive Down

Friday Night - Drove Brisbane, Warwick, Moree.
In good Thomson style managed to leave almost one and a half hours late at 6:20pm.

Somewhat impeeded by roadworks at Cunningham's Gap where it appears that they have dug in for a while.

Had tea with Lewis and Peter in Warwick (1 hr) then drove to Moree.

Arrived Moree at about ten to one am.  All in bed by 1:10am.  We had a 'family room' of one double and 5 single beds.  $210 at the Burke and Wills.  Non smoking room with no smell of smoke.  Small simple room.  Quite happy to go there again.







Remember these wonderful climbing things.  You used to be able to climb up inside them.  I remember climbing up inside this one in the 70's.  However now a big steel plate has been welded over the entry hatch.  There is a plaque on the side that reads "Erected to commerate the centenary of education June 1970".

I guess in 1970 education like the space program looked to the stars but somewhere along the way, something changed.  So we welded over the old lofty objectives and ....

.... We built a new trendy ediface.  That looks sort of like the old one.....

But enhanced with a shuttle....

But of course like the new education system, you can only do it when the system wants you to do it and only when supervised and only the way it has been deemed the right way to play.  The rest of the time it is closed!.






Came across this as we were arriving at Narrabri.  It's a push me pull you.  There is a prime mover on both ends of the trailer with the big roll of wire on it.

Just on dusk, got stuck behind this.  Clearly the designer knew that farm machinery will delay traffic on the feeway and so made space for cars to just drive underneath.  Unfortunately we were in a van.
