Memories of our trip - Going North in 2013
Day 54
Roma to Coonabarabran
We left our roadside stop near Roma and said goodbye to our neighbours, Robyn & Peter, and headed to Miles, a small town with a population of approximately 1700 people, in the Western Downs region of Queensland.

We had a good day of driving on the Leichardt Highway and passed through some very small towns. We had a very unsettling surprise as we approached the small town of Moonie, where ambulances and police passed us, and as we approached we found a bad accident involving a caravan so we slowed down to allow the medics to retrieve passengers. It appeared that the people involved were ok, but there was nothing left of the caravan, just looked like matchsticks. At this part of the day we decided not to travel much further as the accident scene was very upsetting, so we found a roadside rest area about 40 km from Goondawindi and decided to stay the night.
