Day One Continued & Day Two
We had a nice meal at the RSL and about 6847 raffles - fantastic!
Baz won a cool $600 on the pokies. After a few hours sleep we headed off
for a big day in the HQ. A total of 680kms! Had breakfast at Corowa Public School
and hit the road at about 7.30am. Dean was in control today and pushing hard
a few stops and a few beers as we wound up at Lake Wangyou for lunch.
Then headed north for Nyngan but things went down hill fast, dirt, dirt and more
dirt! but with Dean at the wheel we pressed on, must have passed almost everyone
about ten times (Fly past - stop for a wee - more beer) we were setting a cracking pace
even sliding past Jonathans 450 Mercedes at one point. Dave in the navigators seat,
Ross and Baz demolishing the esky in the back. We stopped along the way at Colembly,
Lachlan Downs, Nymagee and finally Nyngan. Big open fire, band, good food and beers,
Nyngan was our sort of place. Then our last stop - the caravan park, this is where Dean
copped more of a pounding than the HQ. Talk about crap - if the HQ needed triple chromed
mud flaps for $500 it would get them but he didn’t consider spoiling the team - a bloody
cabin! no hot water,shared amenities block and that metioned all the positives. Oh well
time to make tracks for Morree.
A special thanks to Taya for all the blog work and a special mention to to highway patrol
“oh Dear” is what they said as they bounced off one and onto the flat bed tow truck.
