We were packed up and ready to leave just before 0700. After saying a sad goodbye to Mum and Dad, we were rolling by 0715. Stopped at Boorowa for breakfast (egg sandwiches made by Mum) and coffee. Mornos was at Maccas Cowra, and lunch at a roadside rest stop just outside Dubbo. We refuelled at Coonabarabran, just because it was the cheapest for a while at $2.899/litre. We arrived at our chosen hotel, Burke and Wills in Moree at 1715.
Scenery was mostly lush green pastures with the occasional brown one. All of the crops we saw on the way down have all been harvested leaving dry stalks. There were A LOT of sheep in the paddocks today, with some cattle. All the stock looked well fed and happy. We encountered some roadworks, some we just had to slow down for, others coming to a complete stop, the longest lasting no more than 6-7 minutes. Any day on the road when you reach your destination without incident is a good one.
