We dusted off our swags in the early morning
and hit the road again today! An early start
saw us travel 450km out of QLD and back into
NSW. As we left QLD the landscape welcomed
us with a more luscious outlook - plenty
of trees and bushy scrub.
With a quick stop off at Walgett for lunch,
we pushed on to Camp Cypress, Baradine. Relieved
to be out of the heat and in the shade of
the trees, we set up camp where we will stay
for the next two days.
The driving today saw us traverse through
sleepy towns, kicking us plenty of dust along
the way. We only had one casualty today –and
it was a big one– The Wenches car has
packed it. Guzzling petrol and oil, they
decided to say a farewell to their ride and
tuck in with a few other cars until they
get to Port Macquarie (our final destination).
Once the sun went down, a fire was soon stacked
up and roaring. “Roo” treated
us with his talents, playing guitar and country
music and drawing quite a crowd! It wasn’t
long until nearly everyone was around was
requesting songs. Rob from The Kenny’s
displayed his genius inside, drawing characters
of fellow Great Escapers.
It was a fun and relaxed evening. Just what
we need to gear us up for tomorrow – rallying
through the Warrumbungles!
