An earlier start to the day than usual – 6:15am!! There was a break in the weather and Greg wanted to pack up as much, eg. bicycles, before the rain started again. Breakfast was had soon after and we were on our way by 8:40am. We had nowhere particular in mind for our next stop, but thought that about 500 km would be a good idea given that we want to be home ASAP.
Mornos was had in Braidwood, made in the van – no bakery items were consumed! We made them to-go and continued onwards to Canberra, Yass and had lunch in Boorowa. Onwards through Cowra (fuel stop), Canowindra, Wellington, Dubbo, and finally stopped at Gilgandra. We had been looking for free camps between Dubbo and Gilgandra but found none on WikiCamps. We did see a number of possibly suitable sites off the side of the road, however, we didn’t want to be the only ones there, for security reasons. So, we opted for the Gilgandra Caravan Park. We were checked in by 6pm and set up on site #32 by 6:30pm. A quick walk into town to stretch the legs was in order before dinner.
The drive was mostly on good roads, with a few exceptions. We had a fantastic tail wind for most of the day, that continued well through the night. Winds of up to 35 km/h during the day, but down to 18 km/h during the night (supposedly).
