Up this morning and
off we drive still over places we had travelled previously. We
stopped at Hillston for fuel. As we had previously been here we
continued on. We pulled up at a roadside stop just out of Nymagee
for lunch. We know we are in outback NSW as there were more cows
and sheep on the road than other vehicles. We also saw old man emu
with 3 chicks and a few kangaroos. Tonight we are staying at a free
camp right in the centre of Nyngan next to the railway line. We
pulled up and went for a walk. From the free camp you cross the
railway line via a bridge and find yourself in a park with a
helicopter on display. This is one of the types of helicopters that were used in April 1990 to evacuate almost the entire population of Nyngan following the worst flooding since being settled.
We continued down
the main street where we spotted a sign for the big bogan and
realised Heather from ABC’s Country Roads had visited here. We
found the big bogan and as Heather had said you should take a photo
of yourself with it did so.
After wandering around the town doing a
few blockies decided there was not much more for us to see and
returned to the van until it was time to wander down to the RSL for
our evening meal. The meal was tasty and huge so we waddled back to
the van to retire for the night. It had been mentioned on Wiki Camps
that possibly one or two trains could pass through during the night.
We only noticed one so not sure if there were more and we slept
through them or it was just the one. You actually could feel it
coming before it went past. Other than the train a quiet night shared
with another caravan and a motorhome.
