Since leaving Wagga Wagga we have been gradually driving into heavier rain the further north we travel. We stopped in a Caravan Park on the north end of Peak Hill because the weather was too inclement to stop on the side of the road. We would recommend this CP to travellers and we will stop there again. The weather was too bad to take photographs as well. (Call me soft, if you like.) As the rain was prevailing, we decided that we may as well keep driving. It is no fun sitting in a caravan on the side of a highway. Next stop was at a large Rest Area near Walgett. The rain had temporarily eased off and we had a comfortable night here with several other over-nighters, including two trucks. We made a small detour off the highway to go into Lightning Ridge, stopped for a tea break then continued on our way. We approached Gulargambone and our stomachs were telling us that it was lunch time. We found a great little park with toilets and made our lunch stop there. We continued driving until we reached Moonie. Here we booked into "The Crossroads" Roadhouse/Pub/Motel/Caravan Park. It rained all night here too. Exciting time to travel, I must say!
A feature of Gulargambone is the galvanised, corrugated steel galahs, like the one erected in this park. There are many of these 'galahs' erected throughout the town and surrounding area.
A bridge over the Castlereagh River at Gulargambone. We have been driving through rain for days on end but this river is bone dry!
