Day 1 Saturday 20th July 2013


Sydney – Bourke

My phone alarm woke us up at 4:00am this morning so we could be on the road by 5:00am which we were and met Robin & Pete out past Rouse Hill.  Could not believe it we were there first not by much though.  We arrived in Lithgow to 4deg at 6:55am after travelling on the Bells Line of road travelling on Bells line of road.  Now through Bathurst and on our way to Orange the weather was changing and coming into the rain and fog.  Had some breaky at McDonalds and the rain was quite heavy while we were there and showers all the way to Wellington.  Now it is starting to look a bit brighter heading further west so hopefully by the time we stop for lunch at Nyngan it will be fine.

By the time we arrived in Dubbo the sun was shining and it was starting to get quite warm, had lunch in Nyngan at the park and on the road again by 1:00pm.  Made our way into Bourke by 3:00 filled up with fuel before heading out to camp at Kidman’s camp (caravan park) for the night.

Set  up the camp walked around the caravan park looking at all the things cooked our tea in the camp kitchen.  Went  to bed around 9:00 before we froze to death.  I seemed to be cold all night and I did not feel I slept much at all.
