Anyone know of public showers in preferably Moree,
Goondiwindi, or
Warwick?? They MUST be CLEAN and tidy, and reasonably economical. At a pinch showers in
Bourke or
Walgett, might be possible, but that would be last resort. Showers at caravan parks will be okay. It would be nice if there were two or more shower stalls, 'cause there is a few of us!!!
While we are on the subject, there is a
Public Toilet map Of Australia, BUT is there such a thing for showers????

Goondi - not free, but there are showers in the BP(?) servo next to Maccas. There is a carwash across the road if you're really dirty.
There is a Caravan
Park on the hwy in Boggabilla that is pretty relaxed and would probably be happy to give you a shower for a bob or two... and there is certainly, I think, a couple of van parks in Goondi.

Go to the Artesian Spa in Moree and then have a hot(or cold) shower afterwards. Baths are 35, 38 asnd 40 degrees as I recall.
Walgett has showers at the swimming pool
Brewarrina has showers and
toilets in the Main Street.
In fact many towns have some sort of facility like that.

Goondi,
Hot free shower in the aquatic reserve (where they ski when there is enuff
water). New clean building. Room to
park. Good place for a lunch stop too. Turn away from town at the big roundabout then first left, it is signposted.

Be very vigilant with your gear in Moree.
Dont leave anything unattended even in daylight,
a brief look at the armoury on the average house windows should confirm this.

That's the first thing the manager of the caravan
park said to us when we stopped for the night a few months ago.

Showers at Shell Boggabilla, BP Gondiwindi, Catex Truckport
Goondiwindi........ None that I know of in Moree. If you fuel up (good idea if you are northbound as QLD fuel heaps cheaper) you would be welcommed by most operators.
Happy trials.
Trevor.

Yep - that is what I said. "Bugger" because I had spent $400+ at Goondi... and despite the 8c a litre rebate from the Qld Gov.

Thanks alot everyone!!
We're pobably heading south next week to SA, and then back again a week later.
When we went to
Adelaide at the end of June and came back up the
Birdsville Track, we were suprised how cheap fuel was, after everyone saying how expensive it was. If I remember right it was no more than, and I think maybe just under $2/l in both
Leigh Creek and
Birdsville - we were prepared for up to $2-30/l. Overall there was much less difference between QLD and the other states than we were expecting.
