Touring is thirsty work!.
Back again! The Macintyre Motor Inn in Goondiwindi is a great place to lay your head for the night. It’s it the heart of the Goondiwindi business district. A short walk to shops, restaurants and pubs. There is onsite parking available right outside of your room. It’s our go to motel when we are staying …
The Condy! The Condamine Hotel is one of the must-do pubs of the Western Downs. Situated on the edge of the Condamine township it offers great food and cold beers. We stopped in for lunch in April 2025 and the “Condy Burger” did not disappoint. Great food, cold beers and friendly staff. Everything a country …
Another Thirsty Tour Adventure – Melbourne via Echuca! Yep, it’s that time of year again! Time to dust off the travel gear, start planning another adventure and decide which country pubs, tourist attractions, historic sites and restaurants deserve a place on the itinerary. Because apparently, sitting at home doing nothing is not one of our …
With the fine weather we’ve been experiencing on the Capricorn coast we took the short walk atthe double Head section of the Capricorn National Park. The Double Head Section adjoins Rosslyn Bay Harbour and protects vine thicket with overhanging fig trees, windswept and stunted scrub land and open tussock grassland with grasstrees. Bird’s eye views over …
Sydney to Brisbane – Two Lighthouses and One Very Long Day! After a fairly big day of travelling, we were up bright and early, leaving the motel at 5:50 am. Nothing like an early start to get the kilometres under your belt, although getting out of bed at that hour on holiday should probably earn …
Lighthouses, Laneways, Model Kits and More Vivid Sydney! After a big day exploring Sydney yesterday, we were back at it again this morning. Today’s mission was to head out to Watsons Bay and visit Hornby Lighthouse. Of course, no Thirsty Tourists adventure would be complete without a few interesting stops, something to eat and a …
Sydney Day One — Harbour Views, Historic Pubs and a Vivid Finale After yesterday’s marathon drive into Sydney, complete with GPS misadventures, public holiday traffic and the world’s most frustrating car park, we were ready for a much more relaxed day. Today’s plan was simple: enjoy a bit of sightseeing, take plenty of photos, revisit …
Sofala, Mount Panorama and a Sydney Arrival from Hell! Some days on the road are filled with amazing scenery, memorable stops and relaxed country pub visits. And then there are days when the GPS loses the plot, the traffic comes to a standstill, and you start questioning every life decision that led you to getting …
The Thirsty Tourists Hit the Road — Rockhampton to Goondiwindi And we’re off! It’s time for another Thirsty Tourists adventure, although this year’s trip down south is going to be a little shorter than some of our previous outings. Our destination for the first day was Goondiwindi, where we’d once again be staying at our …

Because apparently, sitting at home doing nothing isn’t really our thing! This year, we’re keeping the annual …
