We have to visit there one day I kept on saying. So one day we did. I remembered we stayed at a rather nice motel and can't remember anything else about it. <br /><br />But I've started the we must visit Quirindi mantra again because I've discovered it has a Royal Hotel. <br /><br />The Liverpool plains sure are nice country.Joan Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16358008925558240778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8856747756759071827.post-63213206149840940732013-04-20T14:07:40.754+10:002013-04-20T14:07:40.754+10:00You covered some beautiful countryside.
