As anticipated we had a steady start this morning, in fact it was nearer afternoon by the time we hit the road 🙂 Our thanks as ever to Jim and Sue for their hospitality.
We headed north from Trangie through Gin Gin and Collie before heading east to the Newell Highway at Gilgandra.
As we travelled east we could see a mountain range getting closer and closer which marked the Warrumbungle National Park. As the timing was about right for an overnight stop and we liked the look of it we headed into the park for the night.
The views and the wildlife inside the park make it a really pleasant place to stay. There seems to be a large kangaroo population and lots of bird life with Kookaburras and Lorikeets making their presence felt almost as soon as we made camp.

I think the next few days will comprise of much shorter hops rather than the long 500km days we’ve been doing recently as there are so many places to visit. We’re still heading on a very rough north east track but beyond that we’ll be taking this part of the journey as it comes. In many ways the final leg of the journey starts here.
