SATURDAY 12 MARCH GRIFFITH TO NORTH BOURKE 535kms
Today saw the usual, routine, trip north through the centre of NSW.
As the day progressed and we moved further north, it became drier and hotter, and more monotonous – but only because it was a route we had done before.
Excellent rest areas in these parts
Refuelled at West Griffith – $1.18cpl; Cobar – $1.20cpl and Bourke – $1.20cpl.
Had a brief stop near Hillston for a leg stretch, then ate early lunch at the rest stop at the Lachlan River Crossing. Bird watched there and had a reasonable break.
Plenty of room by the Lachlan River
It was mid afternoon when we reached Bourke.
Went into Kidmans Camp Caravan Park at North Bourke. $22 for the site. We always enjoyed coming to this place – lush green grass on the sites, excellent amenities, interest in what developments had been made since last time we were here. We have seen the place grow from its early days.
Set up for the minimum overnight stop, then walked down to the Darling River, which borders the property. Wandered about down there for a short time, then relaxed sitting outside the van for the remainder of the afternoon.
