Dubbo to Cobar via Nyngan

Left Dubbo in the morning and followed the Mitchell Highway west. Drove straight through Narromine and Trangie without stopping. Not much traffic, and the road was in good condition.

Stopped for lunch in Nyngan. Had a quick look around—saw the Big Bogan and the old railway station, which has been turned into a small museum. Had lunch at the recently refurbished Nyngan Hotel. Quiet town but a decent rest stop .

Arrived in Cobar mid-afternoon. Typical outback town with a mining history.

A straightforward drive through flat country. Not much variety, but an easy run with a few small towns to break it up.Read more
