Day 1 & 2 - Holidays

Day 1 - We were up and on the road by 4am. That was hard to drag myself out of bed that early - I'm not a morning person, so I pretty much slept the for first 400km!! LOL We saw the Gunsynd statue at Goondiwindi, then crossed the NSW border. We stopped at various towns along the way, but wanted to get a decent head start into the travelling so we drove until we sent up camp at Coonabarabran. The camper trailer and gear was very quick to set up.

Day 2 - We drove to Dubbo and went to the Old Dubbo Gaol - it was great! You do a self-guided tour and they have a hilarious show as well. We spent the afternoon driving / walking around Taronga Western Plains Zoo. Then we drove to Peak Hill and saw an open cut gold mine, then onto Parkes to see the giant radio telescopes. We stayed at Forbes that night.
