Today sees us begin another southern tour. Our destination today is Goondiwindi and once again we will be staying at the McIntyre Motor Inn. Unlike last year this year’s trip would be a straight run without any deviations or side tours. I like visiting Goondiwindi, being on the Queensland border makes it an interesting location. …
