Day 5 Up The East Coast 2011

During the night Gerald heard three loud bangs, thought it was gun fire and then there were sirens. When we left this morning at the top of the hill was a burnt out truck and it was still smouldering and the fire brigade was still hosing it. So that was where the bangs were from the exploding truck.

On to Moree, we have booked here for a week, the deal is pay for six and get the seventh night free. They have put us in a nice sunny spot, but everyone is very close.

Had a lovely swim, soak whatever 35,36,37 and 39 degrees. Heaven

Day 4 Up The East Coast 2011

Left Forbes at 10.15, as usual one of the last to leave. In Camps 5 it says 24 hours, but in the park it says 48.

On to Dubbo for fuel 0.799 per lt. last year 0.699.

Last year we travelled too far and we were very late finding a spot for the night, Gerald wanted to get TV and watch Collingwood. So this year we stopped where I wanted to last year and we had all the TV channels and Mystar. That was Hickey Falls Camps 5 924.

At Grong Grong there were sever R.T.A. cars who they were checking we don't know but they were right on the side of a 90 deg bend. Lunch at West Wyalong again at the Lions Park. LPG was 0.879 there glad we had go it before.

We were travelling along when we say a motorhome coming towards us with flashing lights and hands waying, when they got close enough we could see that they were from Tassie, but they must have known the bus to recognised from that distance, I suppose we will find out in time.

Parked for the night at Forbes, along side the river once again Camps 5 site 950
