Up this morning and back to the camp kitchen for pancakes, supplied free by the park. They had this nifty automatic pancake maker and you just helped yourself and had as many as you wanted. Funnily enough I think everyone staying at the park was enjoying them. Packed up the van and got in the car to find that the park owner had also washed the windscreen. Small country town service. Headed to Parkes where we stopped at the Parkes Dish for a look around. Back in the car to Temora where we had intended to stay 2 nights but found you couldn't camp at the showgrounds because they were setting up the show (last time we were here it was the circus). Headed to the airfield to find it all booked out as they have jet boats in town on the weekend. With nowhere to stay we parked the van at the aviation museum to see the Da Vinci Machines Exhibition, our reason for coming this way. It is an international touring exhibition with 60 machines and inventions inspired by Leonardo's drawings. What a clever man. Amazing the things he came up with 500 years ago. Well worth the visit, even if the town didn't want us for the night. Grabbed a very late lunch and headed to Coolamon. Set up and relaxed after a long day in the car for us.
