I’ve been everywhere man, I’ve been everywhere - been here there everywhere. Where am I????? Who am I? What’s my name? Which way is north? Yikes a girl could get really confused - as if I’m not already.
Nyngan was a terrific spot to free-camp. Along-side of a main highway but close to town - on concrete - with a Dump Point and clean facilities. Nice job Nyngan, We spent quite a few dollars on food and coffee in town so we hope that helps a little. There was quite a few vans that stayed overnight so we felt quite safe, Well I did track down the local police stations number just in case, but that’s just who I am.
Next stop Wilcannia. Now this spot was a diamond in the rough. Warrawong On The Darling is a green space amongst a desert. We camped by a Billabong ( there’s a song in there somewhere) and had a lovely two nights rest. No coverage so there was that slight hiccup. Wilcannia has a bad rep but we stayed out of town so we didn’t have any probs. Drinking water was scarce - as it is all along the road we are travelling.
The next stop was Broken Hill, We stayed 4 nights here. Two at The Outback Resort and 2 and the Racetrack. Neither spot had decent coverage. We enjoyed the township. Great pubs with terrific food. We really did enjoy the food in BH. The town has beautiful architecture and it is the first whole town that has been listed on the National Heritage List.
Onwards to Orroroo - where the bloody hell is that? you might ask - well I can tell you, it’s in the middle of nowhere and just north of to buggery. However, we really loved this little village that is at the base of the Flinders Ranges. We bought local eggs and home made sour dough. We had a lovely drink at the local and ate a hearty breakfast at the organic cafe before we headed off toward ….
Quorn! Where we are at present. As I write this short update, Jayne is watching footy - Roosters vs Cowboys. Not happy Jan!. Everyone in our tipping comp is on the Roosters and the score is 18 -0 against. No perfect round for anyone this time.
Lots of great walks in Quorn, which we have enjoyed, and a few lovely cafes.
We head onwards and upwards tomorrow with an overnight stop at a place called Glendambo - don’t ask - I think it’s a joke. Will let you know later….
Signing off for now. Love you all. A and J
