Today we spent one hour putting air in the tyres, filling up with petrol and pouring oil in the correct tank. Then....we were off again along the endless highway towards Warwick.
At Goondiwindi we crossed the border into Queensland and forged ahead closer and closer to our destination.
Skin couldn't believe his tiny eyes when he saw a sign saying,'Texas'. He thought we had driven all the way to America. He had dozed off because the landscape was a so monotonous and was shocked to think we had gone so far. He now thought that the rig was an amphibian vehicle!
He insisted on sitting in one of the huge cactus plants that were growing like weeds in a neglected garden throughout the countryside we passed.
He pretended that he was riding a bull in the Warwick rodeo that is being currently advertised on all the road signs.

He became so enthused with his riding that he fell off.
I spoke to him quite severely and told him he could have had quite a serious fall.
He sat in his car seat for the next two hours with his eyes glued on the endless road.
He didn't mention Texas or bulls or rodeos or cactus plants until we arrived in Warwick. Then he said,' Are we still in Australia?"
