Day 9 - Dubbo to Lilydale Rest Area

Almost finished packing up and our Cordless Drill decided to die, so off we go to Mitre 10 to buy a new one, Brushless Hammer Drill - $409

Finally left Dubbo just after 9am. Whilst driving between Narromine and Trangie we went past a paddock with 1000's of Bails of Cotton - amazing to see, couldn't take a photo.

Fuelled up at Nyngan on the way to Cobar - cheap $1.97.....winning. Currently getting 21.88 ltrs per 100 km

Saw some Sheep, Cows, Emus, Echidna and Feral Cat - all alive. 1 Dead Bore - no Wayne didn't shoot it. And then there were the Goats....plague proportions, every conceivable size and colour, inside the fences and along the road. Not one had been hit, they must be 'smart ones'

Decided to go through Cobar onto a free camp at Lilydale Rest Area - level site, picnic table and chairs plus toilet, bitumen parking so all good. Expecting some rain tonight so didn't want to park on the red dirt.

Special hello to Taj and Kobi - apparently they are reading our notes as bedtime stories. Love and miss you guys.

Note to selves: don't park in Truck Rest Areas, they leave their generators running all night whilst parked right next to you.Read more
