Yesterday we woke up next to a main road after a bad nights sleep next to a refridgerated lorry. Lesson learned; no more highway lay-bys. We stopped off at the Parkes radio telescope (theres a film about it called The Dish) and got some awesome pictures of it in the fog. We then carried on up the newell highway through Peak Hill and Dubbo, and spent last night in a campsite at the Warrumbungle National park; where barbara spent at least 45mins trying to light a fire while i cooked some amazing chicken and rice.
We woke up pretty early (like - 8.30) and then went for a hike - a few hours all the way to the top of a split peak. Barbara only complained a little bit, but stopped after we passed two couples who were over the age of 50 on the same trail. Awesome views, ill put some pictures on facebook. We left after midday and drove up our first unsealed road in the van (a little bumpy,nothing horrendous) to Pillaga, where we chilled out in a natural heated spring pool with some more elderly people. (We are defnitely on the retirement holiday route through Australia.) We're now stopped for the night at a campsite in Narrabri, where we can (finally) shower and do some laundry, and get rid of the rotten egg smell from the hot spring.
