Gilgandra to Cobar

It was incredibly windy overnight, I don't think anyone had a great sleep. We were awake around 8 but took it slow this morning since we were all tired. Eventually packed up, headed off to grab fuel and keep moving. We'd planned a quick stop at Nevertire water tower, but the boy finally settled so we kept cruising on. Not a lot to report on, I read for a bit and and we stopped in at Nyngan. First we pulled in at an info booth with a little Bogan, we didn't know it wasn't the big Bogan, so felt underwhelmed. We kept cruising and saw the signs for the actual Big Bogan, much better! Had his Esky and dog rusty. We stopped for some photos and a wander. It was very quiet, not much open, if anything from what we could see. So we made up some wraps for lunch before continuing on to Cobar. We had a quick stop at the monument/town sign for a photo then headed to the caravan park to check in and another quick and easy set up. Much to puppy's dismay we headed back out. We stopped at the Cobar miners heritage park, it's set up very nicely. So nice, that there was a wedding wrapping up. Next we went to the Fort Bourke Hill mine lookout. It was so bizarre to see how big it was from that angle. I saw some goats and their kids, so that was exciting. Another quick stop at the monument since there wasn't a line up this time, then on to the big tooheys can for a photo and the iga for a fresh chook for Pup. Headed back to the camper to enjoy the afternoon sun and a few drinks. Pup didn't want to be outside and we didn't want to be in, so we found a good compromise that he was pretty happy about. Crumbed steak and salad for dinner, showers and a relatively early night. Pup decided he deserved an upgrade from the bottom of the King bed with the deluxe mattress topper, so he took my spot on my pillow.Read more
