As the road went through Coonabarabran we were able to call in and have a coffee with my brother Steve & wife Elaine. It was so good to see them. Because of the weather we weren't sure about taking the van into the farm so called Steve just as we were entering town & he said to leave it at his brother-in-laws shop. At that moment we saw it, gammed on the brakes, and turned in. It was a very good decision.
This is Main Street Coonabarabran
Drive into the farm and our welcome
Elaine had made a batch of scones and we has a very nice hour together.
We have made a booking to spend 2 nights 13 & 14 November on our way to Surfers Paradise. It's Steves birthday on the 15th so we will have a party Saturday 14th. Great timing.
After the muddy drive back to pick up the van we we're VERY pleased we at left it at Shane's shop.
I went Ito say thanks and found both his wife (Elaine's sister) Eunice and their son both working there at that time. They are great folk and I got such a welcome because I had got to know them well during the 6 weeks we spent there after the Coonabarabran fires in January 2013.
On to Forbes for the night.
