Deepwater to Toowoomba - 04-05/05/2024

Well, as our adventure draws to a close, we will spend the next week or so with some family time with my Aunty Bet in Toowoomba and time to farewell my Aunty Ailsa in Brisbane tomorrow.

 

Crossing the border at Wallangara

Then we'll track towards home.

After leaving Armidale, we enjoyed one final bush camp overnight at Deepwater River between Glen Innes and Tenterfield.  A great secluded free camp spot in the scrub.  When we arrived we had the choice of wherever we wanted to go.  By nightfall a few other campers had rocked up but the area is so big, we could barely see anyone else through the bush and the camp ground is only a couple of k's off the New England Highway. 





 



Along the way from our last camp, we diverted to the east a little to a place, 'Drake Village' to do a check of the cemetery there in search of my Great Great Grandfather.  His death certificate states he died there.  Again came up empty there too.

Back on track, we passed through Tenterfield which we visited a couple of years ago.  Stopped to grab a few photos of 'Deloraine', an historic sandstone house on Clarence St, Tenterfield.
