Heading to Dubbo
Day 14 – NSW Road Trip 2020 Urgh that number ain’t great. By now we’re considering throwing caution to the wind, turning the van north and running away from the real world. Mum and Dad agree – they are already questioning their decision to follow us south (pretty sure this is the coldest winter they…

Co-beautiful
Day 13 Just a quick trip down the road today, Bourke to Cobar which is around a 2hr trip. More red dirt and straight roads ahead. This country is hard and stunning. We were kept amused by the number of goats alongside the road. There were goats of all sizes and colours – the kids…

Paddle boats and the mighty Darling
Day 12 – NSW road trip 2020 Today was the day to explore Bourke. We headed into town to wander and see what we could find – it was great to just walk around town and enjoy. Mum was a little jealous of the garden beds in full bloom – the same flowers she has…

Off to the Back o’ Bourke
Day 11 – NSW road trip 2020 Starting to wish I didn’t number the days. Reality is closer than I care to admit. After the excitement of yesterday we packed up and left Lightning Ridge – we were somewhat sad to go, it’s a great place and we will be back. We headed off towards…

That sinking feeling

The wonders of… rocks?
Day 9 – NSW road trip 2020 I have truly lost track of reality. I don’t want to know what’s happening in the news, I’ve stopped checking the work Facebook page to see what’s happening and I honestly can’t work out what day of the week it is. I like this life. Today we explored…

Surprise!
Day 8 – NSW road trip 2020 (I think, I mean who knows what the actual day is!) Matilda rose in a delightful mood this morning (lucky Mum knows how to turn that around), so the girls were kicked outside to eat, write on their post cards and draw while we packed up the van.…

Moree thermal pools
Day 7 – NSW road trip 2020 This is an easy one… Thermal pools followed by thermal pools and then… more thermal pools. Plus some great time spent catching up with Suzanne and Greg. The whole reason we went to Moree was to enjoy the benefits of these pools, so glad we did. They are…

Frosty treat
Day 6 – NSW road trip 2020 So it’s the end of a long day 6. But what a day! I didn’t think we could top the kids flying with Garth, but this definitely had to be an equal, if not slightly higher highlight. We were lucky to receive an invite to join a friend…

Dads dream come true
Day 5 – NSW road trip 2020 An exciting day for the girls today – their first flight in a small plane, made even more exciting that Dad flew for part of the trip, including the landing! The girls loved every minute – even when Rob and Dad dipped the wings so Em could see…
