As we had a big day of driving ahead (750k +) we left Broken Hill early ….we would have loved to spend some time here but as we are both back to work on Monday we need to get home….maybe next trip we do….

Driving out we passed one of the mines that seemed to dwarf the town…We passed the turnoff to White Cliffs, another opal mining area….visit next time ??

Morning tea at Wilcannia at a great little cottage cafe Miss Barretts ….fantastic coffee and homemade goodies  (again!).

Along the road since before Broken Hill we had seen numerous wild goats…they were in plague proportions and had lots of kids! We stopped at a rest stop after Cobar….and it was full of goats enjoying the facilities….makes you think twice about using picnic tables when you see what wild things do with them!!

Our next stop was a slight detour to the town of Warren where I started school and Dad was the minister at the Presbyterian church. Our old house was still there, as was the church and school though the school is now the community college as they had built a larger primary school in 1980.

The farming areas looked really well watered and we drove past the large cotton company with a huge harvest obviously just rolled and ready to ship.

The sun was going down so we hightailed it to Dubbo and got in just after dark to the caravan park.
