Bellata 28 September 2014

On Sunday we went to a local rodeo and admired the skill of the riders – they are either very brave or very stupid – maybe both!! In the afternoon we went to the community bore pools and had a great time. The council spa pool is situated in a modern complex with water temperature increasing as you went from pool to pool - man was it hot! They had powerful jets that knocked you off your feet, but we had a great time and would go back next time. We decided to leave Moree and travelled down the road and camped at Bellata Golf Club, a small farming village. Had a beer with some locals and discovered that the town is fairly static, surviving on the dry land farming, mainly wheat. Everyone knew everybody else and everybody seemed to be related to the rest of the town's folk.
