On a warm day we set off from Temora travelling through West Wyalong, Forbes, lunching in Parkes, then through Dubbo, Gilgandra and overnighted in Coonabarabran, cool leafy trees, gravel underfoot.
We left via the Newell Highway through lots of the Pilliga Nature Reserve, Narrabri a surprisingly big Town, and over the Namoi River, Moree, Goondawindi.
We passed through an area marked 'The Long Paddock' and saw cows on the sides eating happily, with a man on a quad bike attending, (careful, toot the horn if they stray near the road). It reminded us of the trouble the farmers are having in this drought.
We noticed the roadsides on our journey from a little after Temora were badly littered with rubbish, so sad that fellow humans cannot dispose more responsibly. We stayed that night at Warwick, we had been there before but this time stayed at the in a Big 4 Cara/Park.
Our journey after that was on the Cunningham Highway up the side of the mountain and through the gap. A lot of repair work has been completed, magnificent waterways created, huge freight containers placed on a high side where rocks are prone to fall, to protect.
We found our way along North Brisbane highways to Lawnton Showgrounds - usual fee $20 pernight.
That evening we were reunited with Leanne and the family.
