The End

Thats it, we are home. We will now revert back to the Inbetweeners blog, ( http://gandyinbetweeners.blogspot.com/2018/ ) which is ongoing blog between trips.

Wondai- First night out & last night home.

We cycled 20k all around Goondiwindi on lovely concrete bike ways & are now spending our last night on this trip exactly where we spent our first night, in Wondai.
Tomorrow we will be back in Howard, in time for Saturday night pub night.

                                 The vanilla slices at the Goondiwindi bakery were 9 out of 10.

                                                                   At the caravan park.

                                                               Hot spa.

                                          Rustic camp kitchen, there were 2 other modern ones.

                                                Canal front housing off the Mckintire river.

                                                              Cycling Goondiwindi.

                                                                     Wondai walk.

Heading Home

Unfortunately some problems have arisen that required our immediate departure for home. We were very disappointed to not be able to continue on with Gail & Graham as we were enjoying our travels greatly in great company.
After 3 days the problem has been resolved & we find ourselves in Moree, so we will slow our homeward trip & spend a couple of days in Goondiwindi, an area we have always wanted to explore.

 Free camp somewhere between Mildura & Broken Hill on the Silver City highway. This is an excellent road, all new, flat, smooth & NO trucks. Much better than the usual route from Peterborough.

                                                            Afternoon walk.

 For 2000k there is a constant stream of skeletons & decomposed bodies. pretty much 10 to 12 feet apart on both sides of the road, being the kangaroo road carnage from the drought. There must be hundreds of thousands of them.

                                                     Next night free camp at Little Topar.

                                                                A wow of a sunset.

                                                     Night 3 free camp out of Bourke.

 

                                                                    Brewarrina.

                                 All buildings are like this in Brewarrina. The pic says it all.

                                       South of Broken Hill, so dry, no grass at all, just bare earth.

                          North East of Broken Hill. What adifference some rain makes.

                                                                 Brewarrina.

                                               Topping up the blue water tank.

                                                                    Brumbies.

                                                           Entering Moree.

                                                                        Moree.

                                                           Great playground.

                                                                      Moree.

                                                        Walgett IGA had a bad day.
