Nyngan to Narromine to Lithgow – last night!
Cold morning! Lovely drive - through Trangie (huge cotton
processing plant). Still lots of roadkill kangaroos. Huge areas of crops
(canola yellow flowers already on to; huge canals for cotton growing; cattle
& sheep) to Narromine. Cold showery & windy! Warren rang Jayco in Dubbo & booked van
to have electrics fixed tomorrow morning. We decided to stay in Narromine.
Caravan park out next to airport. 3 lots of us there plus 31 students (in
cabins) on a UTS Science trip.
We drove out to the Wetlands on the edge of town – only saw
a ‘bunch of geese’ & slid all over the place on the wet dirt track! We
‘did’ the shopping strip, great local crafts’ shop & HUGE Pharmacy cum gift
cum jewellery/ everything shop!
Spent some time in Library looking up my great aunt who
cooked at a station ‘out west’!!!! Found her on Carwoola Station near
Bungendore in 1922!
Tues 14 July 2015
Wind dropped overnight so it didn’t feel as cold! We finished watching Homeland Series 2 after having lovely dinner (lamb chops in mint gravy & vegies) at Services Club.

We left at 8.15 & had van fixed in Dubbo – the plug to
the transformer had come disconnected (no doubt things tossed about under bed
on gravel road). They also ‘rescrewed’ in fridge which had come lose! Warren bought some LED
lights & put them in – much brighter!!!!
Onto Wellington & Molong – love Molong (bought 5 books
at Vinnies!
There was snow on the mountains around Orange & a snowman still in the park!
Snow also still on some hillsides & by roadside out of Bathurst .
Lunch at Lucknow
then arrived at Lithgow at 3.45 – 4 degrees! Caravan park next to railway
(track up higher) & two sets of aquaducts nearby!!!!
2 degrees at 5pm
7pm - 0 degrees & windy!
Lovely spray of maroon little orchids welcomed us back after a great trip!!
