👍🏻 Highlights - too numerous to list them all but include, Elvis Museum, Peak Hill Gold Mine Experience ⛏️, cycling Dubbo Zoo🐘, historic town of Coolamon, camping at lakes Forbes and Lake Mulwala 🏕️,
camp fire 🔥 and all the places we have run/walked/hiked/cycled🏃🚶🏼🚴🏻, the people we have met, the fabulous sunsets/sunrises🌅 and clear starry skies🌌…..

👎🏻 Lowlights - pesky bugs 🐜 🪰🦗, fuel prices 📈, poor customer service 😳, abuse on the road 🗣️

😥 Challenges - Managing fuel costs and availability ⚖️, the end of our trip 😢

🍻Pubs visited - not as many as we expected 😜 but incl Crossroads Hotel- Tomingley, Mountain View Hotel- Tooraweenah, Coolamon Hotel and the White Hart - Longwood (our fav this trip)
