We did actually have a slightly delayed departure but by 11:30am we were bags(and bags and bags)packed lolly prepared and headed for the freeway.First attempt at a stop was at supposedly an Infantry Museum. Must admit I was thinking it a little sus when the entry gate was a boom gate manned by security :)) A polite security guard informed us the museum was behind schedule and wouldn't be ready for another month. He kindly let us thru the boom gate to do a U turn. And waved us on our way. Wasn't so sure he would be so polite if I began photographing the place so settled with a photo of the sign.
Lunch stop was at Jerrys Plains. Yes that's plural Jerry and plain according to the signage and a later Google search. Even on holidays punctuation rules my world haha... but if you find errors in my blog please be kind :)) . Ventured into the local hotel and ate a country style hearty meal.
Drove off on the traffic free road and singing to some good and not so good songs from our cd collection.
Before we knew it ,we had eaten our way thru a few rolls of mentos,marveled at the fact Telstra had better mobile coverage than optus and saw DUNEDOO signs . Pulled in to the 'township' outside the pub, the only place open. Wanders the street for a few exciting minutes. Word of warning don't try thinking you can just slip into town and get a bed for the night...no way!! The motel was actually FULL!! In true 'Kerry' style I was convinced the two Chris Lilley Nathan types that rode on their bikes past me doing wheelies in the gravel,were out to steal my bag so we headed back to the car and took off for Dubbo.
Headed into the slowly sinking sun .Used my iPad as a GPS guide as we arrived in Dubbo. Hotel is fine and I am smiling cause we had chinese food for dinner and a little raspberry sparkling wine ...well, Brian had a James Boag . Hope to get an early start for White Cliffs via Cobar and Wilcania tomorrow. Hope to get LOTS of photos as we drive thru as I don't see myself in the outback again :))
