Day 5 MacCullochs Range Rest Area - Broken Hill, NSW (253km – 3hrs) Unfortunately we couldn't hit the road too early today as there are too many dead kangaroo's on the side of the road. We got driving at 7:40am heading for Broken Hill. We got some fuel at Wilcannia and saw the usual animals including; goats, sheep, emu's and wedged tail eagles. We arrived at Broken Hill at 10:40am. We are staying at the Broken Hill Regional Events Centre which is where they ho...

Day 4 Gilgandra - MacCullochs Range Rest Area #1052 (536km – 8hrs 15mins) Sadly it was time to say our goodbyes and hit the road. We had such a lovely time with the Weston's and it was a perfect way to start our adventure. Today was just a driving day towards Broken Hill. We left Gilgandra at 8:15am and had to stop twice on our way into town for the sheep to get off the road and then the cows. Josh loved it! We fueled the car on the highway and then kept dri...

Day 3 - Gilgandra We had a very relaxing day in Gilgandra. All Josh wanted to do was drive us around in the Gator.

Then Josh drove us to the dam and we had a little walk around. We went back to the house and played some board games and I did a quick clean of the ca...

Day 2 Gilgandra After a relaxing start to the day Rog & Don headed into town while June took the kids and I to a relative's to watch sheep shearing. It was so much fun watching the shearing and them sorting the wool. Then it was time for us to help by catching all the lambs and putting them in a separate pen. They were so cute, I could have cuddled them all day! June then drove us around some of their property and we looked at some of the crop (inc; wheat, ...

Day 1 Sydney – Gilgandra (514km – 7 hrs 40 mins) Today was a driving day and a day to get used to towing the caravan! We got on the road at 7:50am and the kids had a great day playing spot-o and looking for wildlife (sheep, cattle, horses, emu’s, eagle). It was a windy day and the caravan got a bit wobbly a few times but Rog had it all under control. We also had to get used to the amount of fuel you go through very quickly. The highlight for Rog & I...
