Forbes to Hay via Condobolin and Lake Cargelligo


Pippy looks pretty zonked, doesn't he? He's laying on top of the cupboards and initially no dog was allowed to rest their bones there, but somehow Pippy prevailed. We are at Sandy Point Camping Reserve at Hay and there are about twenty other vans around us. Most move on the next day, but come late afternoon, a new batch shuffle in.
Saw this lost dog notice at the museum at Cowra and thought it was funny.

Didn't like the look of this fellow much. He was camped close to our site and we just moved to the other side of the reserve, well away from him.

Dogs are only happy when we are all together. Here they are keeping a close eye on Robyn at our Hay campsite.

Robyn is drinking fom a water fountain donated to the people of Hay by a turn of last century mayor.


Very nice walking tracks up and down the river fom our campsite. The trees are enormous and remind us of the trees we saw at Wilcannia. The orginal trunk has long gone (and nowhere to be seen!), and the secondary trunk growth is again huge.

This is the view we wake up to each morning. Town is not far away, but you would never know it. I better publish this before the battery goes flat. I have exhausted Robyn's computer battery to get this blog out, so our next update will be from Leeton when we will have power again. Tomorrow we are travelling 15 kms out of town to view a (hopefully) colurful sunset from a viewing platform with 360 degree views of a totally flat plain. I have read the Hay plain is the largest flat plain in the world.

PS The fellow in the third picture is a joke. I found him laying in the museum in Cowra.
