Day Five - Orroroo to Broken Hill

| | Comments (2)
mmmmmmmm nice sleep on a proper mattress not an air bed with issues !!! Its finally stopped raining, well mostly, had a bit of a later start today as we did not have too far to drive today,just over 300kms, drove through a couple of  "blink and you miss them towns" and stopped to fill up with fuel and got some sound advice from the woman who worked there about where to stop and where not to stop on our way up through NSW.

Apparently there are some less than salubrious places on the way up where we should just keep going with our windows up and our doors locked, so had a quick look at the map and adjusted our fuel stops and camp spots.

Anyway got to Broken Hill at lunch time and the campsite we were due to stay at looked a bit muddy so we went back to one we had seen as we drove into town, its nice and $26.00 can't complain, Binga even has some doggy neighbours which he thought was great till she started chewing a bone right in front of him !!!!

Anyway Gav drove today....... can you see a pattern developing ?

And finally, some Images to upload .....

Wow, you guys really are making some progress, tell the truth, are you a tad fed up with the journey or is it great to see it all in one go?

Keep the updates coming as it's the first RSS I read when I update my mobi just to see what's happened thus far.

Gav, doesn't it make it a bit difficult to drive with the DELL on the wheel or is that some outback version of TomTom?

BTW - some idiot forgot to renew IWDP!!! Went off air, fixed now and I have had a quiet word in the idiots ear, namely myself!

Anyway, this is not for me to rant on, looking forward to the next instalment of 'naming things'.

Take care

hi Gav, this came as a bit of a surprise when Gary posted it on mT, I hope the rest of your journey is good and perhaps a trifle dryer than it has been so far.

Good luck and I shall be following your progress with interest.
