Albury to moree

[stevron]

A brief note on a great few days away.  I left Albury for an uneventful flight to Coonamble for a meet up with friends and an overnight stay.  $5 each way mini bus to town from the airport . Next morning off to Moree to spend a couple of days swimming In the artesian pools, what a magnificent experience. Most of our meals were via the RSL and the RSL bus was very handy. Very few people about and even less using the pools so I spent early mornings and late afternoons in the pools . I left Moree for Albury after one of the best quick breaks I have ever had.

You can't go wrong at the Moree Rizzle. We regularly go there for meals after work and I haven't had a bad feed yet. And $5 schooners for their beer-of-the-month is a nice bonus.

Pro tip - stay at the Albert next door to the RSL. Gated & swipe card access, so not as many problems with....uhhhh....some locals, and you don't even need the courtesy bus home. Not sure how exxy it is, work pays for our rooms, but they're quite nice and probably among the best in town.

What do you mean by "uhhh... locals"? I'm guessing you mean by wasted blokes at the pub?

Nah, pissed blokes are easy to deal with. Usually... Moree has a significantly higher crime rate than comparable towns like Narrabri, Stanthorpe, Tamworth or Gunnedah. Moree also has a much higher proportion of aboriginal people living there. 2'n'2 don't equal 5.  A recent ABC article about it. 

A few weeks back, we were talking to the the taxi driver about the problem on the way from the station and he told us about a young and apparently pregnant girl there was belted with sticks and broom handles by a group of teenagers intent on flogging her car only a couple weeks before. Most of our crew are quite happy to be staying in a gated motel on our overnights now.

You know I have stopped talking about crime , the leaders of the state and magistrates are so p/ weak they will not amend laws to deal with crime and suitable punishment . Have you noticed the magistrates are generally from client supporting side of law , why not put some prosecutors in to balance out
