Beautiful hot sunny day with not a cloud in the sky although rather chilly overnight. Went for a drive to Wallangarra and Jennings which are on the Queensland New South Wales border. Are divided by the railway station which has been restored and operates as a museum but not on Mondays. Later explored the golf course and town and then Paul went back to the golf course for a game later in the day.
