Well last day on the road (other than last leg from Dad's to Moe)
Gave myself a 30 minute sleep in and Dad an hour extra.
Cooked the last of pancakes for breaky. Rolled up some bedding and sorted bags a bit.
Dropped into Shear Outback - shearing museum. We saw a shearing demo and read a lot about shearing, shearers, cooks etc. an amazingly tough job to do this day.
Then a quick look at Dunera Museum at the renovated Hay Railway station which provided an overview of the Hay Internment camps. There were thousands of POW's interred there. Including Germans Japanese and others. Called the Dundera Boys as that was the name of ship the British sent them out on.
Fuel again and a coffee in Hay before heading down the Cobb Highway homer to Dads. These country towns in NSW do a good job or retaining their old buildings.
Pulled off at Billabong Creek for last lunch on the track. Dad tried his luck fishing again, to no avail.
Into Moama at 3.00. Have organized to call in and do tax with Mark in am.
Home to unpack by 3.30pm.
A great trip outback to see yet more of this amazing country of ours. Thanks to Dad for putting up with me as nagging travel companion. 4677km done and dusted and we are both home alive and kicking.
Good job Nic and John! Looks like you both had a fantastic trip! Home safe and sounds!
