It was exciting to cross the border to day at 9am and set my clock forward. I crossed the Tweed then first stop was Tropical Fruit World. Much like the Big Pineapple, it's a working fruit farm, but the range of options leaves the former for dead. A tractor ride takes you on a tour of the fields and a petting zoo, small train rides and ends with a fruit tasting demo. Lovely location, wonderfully friendly staff...
I drove up the Tweed Valley through lush fields and mountains, diverting to a few good looking picnic grounds. Lunch at Meltdown - a lovely trendy cafe in Casino where they make delicious home made pies... then on towards Tenterfield. I was hoping to make it to Texas today, but ran out of steam and I am now set up in an ordinary campsite not far from town. The saving grace is the 100 year old reception building and stable, but I am sitting along a fence line and pimped up cars are driving in and out regularly... tomorrow I will check out thee rail museum and a few other goodies before driving on. Maybe I'll stop in Texas... maybe I'll just continue to Moree...
Having a ball, and finding all kind of interesting things for kids! Now I'm going to fry up some veggies for dinner! Good night!!
