Nyngan

23 – 24 April 2015

We drove to Peak Hill and then on to Narromine, stopping for lunch at a rest stop on the highway. Because we needed to do a load of washing we decided to stay at a caravan park. We saw signs for a riverside park in Nyngan so made our way there. The grassy camping area was right on the Bogan River and not crowded when we arrived, although more campers arrived during the afternoon. There was plenty of room for everyone.

Great Egret

There were a number of moveable fire tubs and plenty of wood around so Mick lit a fire after dinner, even though it wasn’t as cold as we had been experiencing. It was nice to sit by the campfire with a glass of wine.

In the morning we packed up and headed back into town for supplies – how civilised being able to buy beer at the supermarket at 9.45am! A quick stop at the op shop and we were on the road to Bourke. Once we arrived we found the Visitor Information Centre and obtained decided on Gundabooka National Park as our next stop. There are picnic tables in the park like grounds at the visitor centre so we had lunch there before heading to the National Park.
