On leaving Dubbo we passed through some wonderfully names places such as Terramungamine, Drillwarrina, Gilgandra and then Coonabarabran where we got information from the information centre about camping in the Warrumbungle National Park - $27 per night no drinkable water.
Our van was on bitumen with clean woodchip beside, dotted with planted native bushes, rota loos, efficient showers made it a comfortable camp.
The wildlife were great-kangaroo, wallaby, emu, huge butterflies brilliantly plumed parrots and I am sure many more that we were unable to see passing by in the bush.
We had 1 rest day then drove back up the steep roads to the Siding Spring Observatory, viewed the informative display and thankfully there was a lift to take us up to the fourth(top) floor to view the telescope.
We walked into the Whitegum Lookout affording a great view of the Warrumbungle Range of volcanic rock.
