Off we go again, Liz drove today (Monday), bumping along over the 16 k’s of dirt road as a starter. After 120 k’s we arrived at Coonabarrabran, to my amazement it’s still the same as it was many years ago. Picked up some supplies and off for the las 37 k’s to the Warrumbubgle N.P. On the way we called in to Spring Siding Observatory. After a quick study of how telescopes operate we were allowed to stand under the actual scope used, unfortunately not to look through it. Cost to run is $40,000.00 a day. Then on to the park where we picked a semi shady spot to stay. So quiet here, you can almost hear your heart beat. Occasional bird calls & just the odd goanna walking past to distract you. 4:00 PM must go now, it’s happy hour.
This morning went for a bushwalk for a couple of hours before returning to camp. After lunch I went for a bike ride around the park while Liz caught up on some reading.
Wednesday, promise of rain today so we went for a walk early returning just before a shower. We sat under the awning with a cup of tea listening to the pitter patter on the roof with the smells of the bush, mostly eucalypt but sometimes a smell like cork is wonderful, so relaxing, we both love this place. After lunch another walk, a few spits of rain but that’s all, we had a quiet afternoon reading, naps, cups of tea. There are only 2 other occupied campsites in the area & we are all far apart so there is no people noise at all.
Thursday, moving off today, did one last short walk to a lookout and then on to Narrabri.
