Had a fabulous nights sleep despite the sub-zero temperatures.  Thermals, doona,  wool  blanket and woolly  hats pulled down over our noses kept us cosy. 

We had a leisurely start, eating breaky in the sun waiting for the ice to melt on the tent.  First pack up for a while so took us nearly an hour to get on the road- we will need to lift our game in that department.

Travelled to Dubbo via Forbes and Parkes.  Being a Sunday almost everything was closed but we did manage to find excellent coffee in Forbes and to enjoy a walk through the really pretty town  full of Gillie & Marc sculptures and heritage buildings.

Next stop Parkes and of course the mandatory visit to ‘The Dish’ which was actually quite mesmerising. Buzzing with electricity so we may well glow in the dark tonight.

Elvias also features prominently in Parkes but sadly we are here at the wrong time for the annual Elvis impersonator festival.- but maybe next year?

Arrived in Dubbo late afternoon (have booked 2 nights in the caravan park here).  Arrived right on wine o’clock so we were watched by many as we set up camp.  It’s a fairly quiet park but a bit noisier than last night.

Cool weather is setting in but the upside of being in a caravan park is we we have power so we may just ‘cheat’ with our little fan heater.
