Beginning with a little lie in, which really means 5 in the bed until either Tig (Phil) or I get out, as the queen bed doona doesn't quite cover 5. Yummy bacon and egg breakfast, which was cooked once we booted the kids outside for a little morning soccer. The floor space in the van is like the bed. 5 standing is certainly a crowd. Breakfast was followed by a little Aboriginal exploration walk before finally hoping in the car for a rather long trek north.
We managed to get to Coonamble for a late lunch which was had in the van due to a little drizzle. You have got to love public holidays in small towns. The town was so deserted that we could park our 40ft rig (car and van) outside the old bank building (now Telstra shop) in the main street.
After lunch we continued on to Lightning Ridge, arriving here at about 5pm and have stationed ourselves in the new caravan park (only opened this year) for two nights. Some washing and hot showers are high on the agenda.
Tomorrow we will check out what The Ridge has to offer and maybe even try out the Artesian Baths across the road.
Till next time..
Thea
