After a wonderful long weekend in Lithgow, we finally hit the road in our long awaited, planned and replanned trip.
After an emotional morning (goodbyes are hard even when it’s been coming forever!) we hit the road – first “official” stop: Dubbo.
After a quick stop in Bathurst to grab some repair supplies (because it doesn’t matter how much prep you do, you’re going to need something else on day one, right!) we were on the road and Miss Em was ready for a nap!
We’d been to Dubbo back in 2020 and we’re motoring towards “The Hill” so it was just an overnight stay here.
We snagged a great spot just out of town (thanks Westview Caravan Park!) and the girls discovered a pizza oven in the camp kitchen while we were setting up and Garth was fixing the water pump – so we popped into town for a wander around Dubbo and to grab some supplies.
They got their first passport stamp of the trip and had a great play in the Sky Castle art installation in town.
They even snuck in a quick (cold) swim!
We had a great night around the camp kitchen, making pizzas and chatting with some other campers.
Camp kitchen chats are the best! You can learn so much and meet the most interesting people.
Dubbo definitely has a lot to offer – one to add to another school holiday trip list in the future.
