Day 98: Cowra to Home Our holiday of a lifetime has sadly come to an end. We have had so many adventures and learnt so much about this country, ourselves and each other. We each take something different from this experience. Darren embarked on this adventure to gain knowledge to help with his business aswell as to spend valuable time with his family. The knowledge he gained has been invaluable. Darren can go back to work pleased with the knowledge that he an...

Day 97: Dubbo to Cowra via Parkes This has turned out to be the final night of our journey. Despite my best efforts to convince Darren otherwise, he has had enough and decided we are going home tomorrow. Needless to say I am desperately disappointed but have no other choice but to live with his decision. Today was a surprisingly good day. We visited the CSIRO Parkes Radio Telescope as planned but it was much better than I had anticipated. Upon arrival we pu...

Day 96: Old Dubbo Gaol We had another beautifully warm day in Dubbo today. Perfect to do what I hope will be the final load of washing until we get home. It was also a great day to visit the Old Dubbo Gaol. The gaol was shut down in 1966 and is now maintained purely as a tourist attraction. It is located in the main street of town as the gaol was here first and the town grew around it. I think it was a little advanced for the kids to fully appreciate the ex...

Days 94 & 95: Tamworth to Dubbo Four days left until our big adventure comes to an end, but it hasn't finished yet. We arrived in Dubbo yesterday and whilst it was a little cool, the sun was shinning and it was a beautiful day. We are staying at Big4 Dubbo Parklands and I have to say I am a little disappointed. The park is very busy due to school holidays so we are on a drive through site that is a wee bit squishy. We expected that though and we're barel...

Days 92 & 93: Glen Innes to Tamworth Not a great deal to tell in this blog. Before departing Glen Innes we picked up our new tyre and had them put it on the car for us. The weather was a little drizzly and cool so it was a good day for driving. We tried to remember if this is the first time we had to travel in the rain on this trip, we think it is but can't remember for sure. We are staying at Paradise Tourist Park in Tamworth. The owner was down in Mel...
