It is 250 to 290kms away, depending which way we go, over the Great Dividing Range. We went one way and came back another.
We had a few weeks there some years ago, when we had an 'improvement' on our RV in which the garage nicked a hose which resulted in a major breakdown on Christmas Eve, just when everything was closing for a couple of weeks. We were blessed as you can imagine when the Roadside Assistance man took us home to his isolated property 25km south of Texas. We had a family Christmas with them and were there, based in their shed, for about five weeks until he was able to get a new motor and fit it for us, (over $5,000 worth, which fortunately we got back from the garage's insurance), so we became good friends with them.
We've remained friends with the guy who towed us into Texas then too, see him now and again. Barry was keen to see them and catch up. I took a few books and my knitting and was pleased to have some quiet time.

Have a great week, everyone.

Lee Kernaghan has a song about Texas that I like, I think it is called Texas Qld 4385?

Interesting story and the sunset photos are beautiful.
Awesome pictures...especially that first sunset...
That is an amazing story of how you met and became friends....
That's some stunning scenery. Just beautiful. And I love how you were hosted for 5 weeks! That's just incredible. I love that spirit. We've lost a lot of it in big cities and small towns everywhere so it is really nice to see it in operation. Blessings.
What a great story! Fabulous photos!
I love the bright sunset with the sun rays, very nice.
An amazing story of good friendship too. You were so lucky to have found that lovely person.
Five weeks you were able to stay, amazing, a good long friendship to you both after that.
