Warrumbungle National Park

Plans for today

• Drive to Coonabarabran and set up camp in the national park
• Get some vinegar and bicarb soda to throw in to the campers water tank

What actually happened

We drove to Coonabarabran. Was a nice trip. The phone Tom Tom lady again took us the back way so it was the road less travelled for sure and certain. Amanda decided we should stay in a van park instead of the national park so we’d be closer to town. We were closer to town for sure – and closer to about a million trucks going up and down the Newell Highway.

We went for a drive to the Warrumbungle National Park after having fish and chips in the local park. Cool park, it had an old well and some magnificent maple trees. The Warrumbungle National Park was great. Spectacular granite outcrops all over the place.

Saw some white gums and they had the biggest leaves I have seen. Drove past Siding Springs Observatory on our way to the Warrumbungles but it was closed.

We watched the series final episode of the walking dead on foxtel go – that’s pretty awesome to be able to do that while you are out on the road. Somebody got bashed to death by Negan with a club at the end but we don’t know who. Have to wait for the new series to find out.
