Road trip with dogs - day 18

We ummed and ahhed about which route to take home from Coonabarabran, and decided to do the rational thing and follow the main drag through Goondawindi.  Only trouble was, we missed the turn just out of town and were headed in a different direction.  I had noticed we didn't seem to be annoyed that much by a lot of heavy vehicles!  So we made it official, and headed through the back roads via Texis and Inglewood.  We discovered in the back blocks that we couldn't access supermarkets on a Saturday afternnon, and in Queensland, where we would be by evening, there is no 24 hour shopping like the other states.  We knew the only way to be fed that evening was to eat out, but being coeliac and gluten free, that's not a simple thing!

We could see where all the water went through in the past few weeks.  There were many potholes nd ruts in the road, and raodwards to match.  We had to proceed somewhat cautiously, but at least the water was where it was supposed to be!

We camped at Inglewood and a somewhat down at heels caravan park, but it was late, we were tired and couldn't be bothered finding the out of town park and have to travel back for food.  We did find a nice cafe that tried very hard to provided wheat free food for me (difficult!) that was a cut above your average take away joint!
