Traffic finally clearing...

Past the red elephant!!

Overtaking a green crane on the way up the Toowoomba range!!

Lots of grain silos...

Angus having a snooze!!  Damian promised he would take a photo as soon as Angus fell asleep!!

Damian pleased with himself...

Stopping for a coffee in sunny downtown Millmerran!!

Back on the road...

Wide load!!

Through downtown Goondiwindi...

Crossing into NSW...

Still happy!!

Stopping at Moree McDonald's to have a bite to eat and say g'day to Brian's friends!!

Lots of interesting structures to see...

Is that a single silo off in the distance?

Nope, it's four silos!!

Oh look, a bend in the road!!

After a big day of driving, Angus and Damian arrived safely in Narrabri.  Booger Mobile went beautifully (apart from Damian stalling coming out of the servo in Toowoomba and nearly getting ploughed by a truck, but that was user error)!!

Tomorrow - scrutineering and the welcome dinner!!
