It was soooo quiet in Gulgong.
After a shower and breakfast we hit the road. It takes us about 2 hours to get going, and we didn't even unhitch the caravan.
The road from Gulgong seems to follow the ranges through Wellington and onto Parkes. It's a bit of an up and down, winding road.
We caught up with friends Mick and Robyn in Parkes, people we knew from when we lived there 30 years ago.
An hour and a half later we continued.
Through Forbes and on to West Wyalong for lunch in a pretty park in town.
We have some not-very-good-memories of West Wyalong....when G was playing cricket for Parkes in WW he was fielding in close and, yep, got hit in the face by a cricket ball. It wasn't pretty and we spent the rest of the day in West Wyalong hospital.
Not such disasters this time.
A quick photo stop in Weethalle -
to admire the beautifully painted wheat silos.
We arrived in the cutesy little town of Goolgowi at 4.30.
A community-run campground with the cleanest showers. We hat to go to the services club to pay and get a key for the amenities.....so had to have a little pre-dinner drink too.
