Drove to Burren Junction via Wee Waa today. It was only about 100 kms. We were glad that we came through Wee Waa as we saw a lot of cotton fields, we had not realised how big the cotton growing industry is in Australia and it was very interesting to see the cotton fields and the Gins. Apparently Wee Waa is the "Cotton Capital" of Australia. Cotton was first grown there in 1922. The bales of cotton were amazing, some were like hay bales and then there were others that were as big if not bigger than our caravan. We were able to stop at one point on the road and take a couple of photographs. We are staying at Burren Junction tonight, another free camp with an Artesian Bath - we have been in the pool a couple of times, it is not as hot as Pilliga Bore but still nice to get into. I will take some photos of the baths tomorrow.

Hello
ReplyDeleteTried to send you an EMail last week and it kept getting returned. Colin rang and mentioned you had a Blog and I found it and saw you had EMail problems. We loved Piliga Bore and had 5 nights there last year. I am using my Yahoo address on this instead of my normal Bigpond one but if you want to send messages use the normal Bigpond. Geoffv and Carol
