Thursday We woke early and as we had nothing to pack up left by 7am planning to breakfast in Narromine. When we hit the town though there wasn't anything we could see that was open for meals so we pushed on arriving in Dubbo just before 9am. Maccas for breakfast this morning and we only realised last night that school holidays start tomorrow. I ring the caravan park and luckily we can get a site for 3 nights but we can't arrive till 11. We sit at Maccas for a w...

Wednesday Before leaving 'Warrawong on the Darling' we made a point to thank the managers and let them know how impressed we were with there set up and future plans. We will definitely be back to this place We headed up the west side of the Darling River to Tilpa and when we arrived had a drink at pub - Martin a beer and me a hot chocolate. For a $2 donation to the Royal Flying Doctors you can sign the wall and after searching for a place we finally added our...

Tuesday After breakfast we headed to White Cliffs (about 100kms) for a look around. We got a map of the town at the General Store which sets out a visitor circuit.

The temperatures in summer regularly reach 50° so living underground is the best option - here the temp stays around 22° to 24° year round. It wasn't claustrophobic at all. ...

Monday Bit of a lay in this morning. Today is supposed to reach 32° but there is a good breeze that's keeping it cool. After breakfast I spend the morning cleaning the van - changing sheets and wiping walls - to try and reduce the dust that got in while we camped during the wind storms. Martin spent the morning dismantling the car. When he'd tried to change the filter sock in the snorkel at Broken Hill it wasn't there so he had to pull the snorkel apart to find...

Sunday Packed up and on the road by 9am. We take a quick detour to see Bell's milk bar. This is a 1950’s style diner but when we got there it didn't open till 10am. Didn't look much from the street so we'll need to check it out next time. We head out to Menindee and arrive just after 11am. It's a nice little town - bigger than we expected. We called in to the information centre and the lady there was very helpful. She explained that there is no water in Menin...
