    The biggest, planned driving day of our trip today. We put air in the tyres and left just before 9am. It was a bit drizzly but cleared the further we got. A quick maccas stop for breakfast at Muswellbrook and back on the road. It's only day 1 and I've already given up on putting shoes on and off, socks and slides it is. Stopped at Gunnedah hotel for a drink and lunch, got a nice spot by the fire. There was a heap of white stuff either side of the road on the way in and out of Boggabri, at first I thought a poor cockatoo, but then it just kept going! We think it was cotton, pretty cool. When we got into Narrabri we ended up in the wrong lane and got pulled over by a cop, all good, he had a laugh about not being from around here and the confusing roads. Also, turns out we've been saying Mungindi wrong, whoops. Stretched our legs at the Moree visitor information centre then we were on our way. We got to Mundingi on sunset and met Lyn, who invited us to sit by the fire and talk shit with the other travellers. Amazing choice, absolute legends. They cooked us dinner and we had a few drinks. We did have a good laugh with Steve, he's an AFL fan, supporting Carlton while the rest were NRL fans, he was glad there were finally some 'educated people' around, he had to get a photo with us so he wouldn't forgetRead more
