CENTRAL WEST NSW

  We left Echuca and headed for Hay in NSW. Passed through Denilquin on the way. Another lovely town situated on the banks of the Murrumbidgee River. We have never seen anything so flat as the Hay Plains. It was like the Nullabor again.( Sorry, no photos, flat camera battery, remember.) Camped at Sandy Point at Hay for the night. The weather has gone from very cold to bitterly cold.

 Rested up and headed further north into NSW.


 We made it to Lake Cargelligo. (View from the loo below)

 
 
 It is absolutely freezing and we are learning that Perth winter clothes just don't cut it over here.

 It was time to bring out the "big guns", hence the magnificent hat previously only worn in the Tasmanian wilderness.

 Frogs Hollow, camp spot next to the Lake.

 Horses viewed from kitchen window.

 Birds feasting on the lake.

 
Headed further into NSW. Passed through Condoblin, Parkes and stopped at Peak Hill.
 
Diverted along to Trangie for some more nostalgia. Tall tales of past family holidays were told of this place and Kel just had to check it out.  
 
 Can you believe it, the Big Boiling Billy.
