Drought stricken area

Road from Walgett to Hebel

So dry

Just bare dirt

Today saw us leave Walgett and travel through to St George in QLD. The area from about 60km south of Walgett to Dirranbandi is just so drought stricken. I don't know how the farmers get up each morning and look out at their land - it's just bare dirt as far as the eye can see.

Walgett

We had an enjoyable few nights in Walgett - great to see Alan & Gai looking so well. Walgett has certainly cleaned up its act from our last visit. Streets clean and great new IGA and Hardware store. Loved the Pizza shop!

Thursday 11th

Well we are now heading off on our travels after having a fantastic time catching up with family & friends. It was so nice to actually have time.
We are now on the road headed North. Should be in Walgett tonight - it's been a few years since we've been this way and will be sad to see the devastation of the drought.

Pizza with friends

We had a lovely last night in Narromine sharing pizza & beer with friends. Sorry you couldn't make it Ringo.

Long Weekend / Sunday

We had a lovely long weekend in Narromine catching up with family & friends. Big Thank You to Jeremy who cooked a great Camp Oven meal on Sunday night. Love catching up around the campfire !

Trangie

Free camping at Boomagong near Narromine

We enjoyed a few days in Trangie spending some time with Rob's mum & sister/family. Great to have time to spend with them and catch up properly.
Trangie has a Cotton Gin and it was amazing to see all the cotton bales lined up for processing. Zoom in on the picture - goes for miles.
Now in Narromine catching up with Mum & Dad, Michael Erin & family.
