Texas is a small country town on the border of QLD and NSW.

Well I am finally here, arriving Good Friday 2019
I have always been wanting to go Texas, the name has drawn me to this town . The town is home to the largest feedlot in Australia and also the rabbit works (Australian history of rabbit plaque back in 1920)

The river flats and surrounding area are dotted with old tobacco barns another reminder of the towns farming history, today cotton and fodder are grown.


We stayed at Southern Border Accommodation Park 
Southern Border Accommodation Park front entrance
 owned by Jason & Sandra WHITE new owners since January 2019. They both go the extra mile to make you feel welcome and will greet you warmly with a smile and  a good chat. Well worth a visit.


There is a bowls club here which welcomed us quite warmly.

It may be dry due to no rain but there are many places of interest in surrounding area to drive around and see such as Glenlyon Dam, Bonshaw Weir,
 & Goat Rock, some of which are over in the NSW border.
