Friday 29th October, (Mildura).
We went for a drive back into NSW today to a small place of Wentworth. Linda was reading about a sand dune there and wanted to see it. Sure enough there, out in the middle of nowhere, was this rather large sand dune. The sand was obviously full of Mica as the […]
Thursday 28th October, (Mildura).
A change back to our original plan of only staying in Mildura for 1 week, as we have decided that this is yet another place that we will definitely visit again one day. As we are basically in cruise-mode, as Linda puts it, on our way back to Tassie we don’t have […]
Chapter 27.
Back to Victoria.
Tuesday 26th October 2004, (Mildura).
This would be, I guess, the last couple of legs of this years travel before heading back to Tassie for Xmas.
We travelled another long leg yesterday from Hay to Mildura being about 290k, but it now gives us ample time to get to Melbourne. We have almost decided […]
Saturday 23rd October, (Hay).
We had a visit to the gaol museum today and it is quite full of many artefacts saved and collected from days gone by. The gaol itself has quite a chequered history of its own. One facet of the history that Linda took real notice of is when it was used as […]
Thursday 21st October, (Hay).
We have now moved to Hay, a reasonably important town being on the crossroads of several highways crossing this country and is on the edge of the Murrumbidgee River. The town is remote to the extent that there is no town, to speak of, within 100k or so in any direction, and […]
Tuesday 19th October, (West Wyalong).
Another 250k down the Newel highway see us now at West Wyalong. This is another smallish country town, as all will be until we reach Mildura, so a couple of days relaxing and taking a few pics of the town will be the order while here.
A little problem with centerlink today, […]
Saturday 16th October, (Narromine).
Last night was in fact very cold, we probably won’t know the actual temp as there will be no local weather report tonight but it must have been very close to zero.
We have now moved to Narromine, about 38k west of Dubbo. We chose to stay here purely because we have stayed […]
Friday 15th October, (Mudgee).
We have had to stay another day at Mudgee, originally it was because of a small job I had to do on the car, replace the heater fan resistor, but ultimately Linda contracted an illness, bladder infection, so there was no choice. Linda is now feeling a lot better after a visit […]
Thursday 14th October, (Mudgee).
I did my usual thing and walked the streets of the town taking pictures and some of the buildings are quite spectacular. My walk was cut short though, as the temperature being in the mid 30’s made it too hot for walking around and I did arrive back home a little exhausted.
We […]
Tuesday 12th October, (Mudgee).
Had a good day Sunday sitting back watching a perfect picture for an all day of car racing at Bathurst, and enjoyed it as I do every year.
We had a stroll around town yesterday, Linda doing a little shopping and me taking photos. It is quite apparent we are back in central […]
