And we're off!!


We left home on Tuesday and went through Mildura and part way towards Broken Hill and spent the night beside the Anabranch Bridge.  It only took Bun about an hour or so to find a dog to cuddle :).  I did some driving during the day and apparently it only took an hour or so for me to scare him!
I continued driving the next day and was passed by a semi for the first time without incident.
We decided that we could take things pretty easy as this is really only to get used to driving, towing, etc, so we stayed in Broken Hill for the night.  We are so going to turn into grey nomads, pulling in for the night at about 3pm haha.


So it sounds like 4pm is happy hour for grey nomads??

Thursday we headed towards Tibooburra, calling into Packsaddle Roadhouse about 1.30pm.  After a leisurely beer turned into a couple more, we decided to stay there for the night.  The company both sides of the bar was great and the hot chips for tea were the best we've had!  Friday morning we headed to Tibooburra with a stop to climb up a mountain (well, large hill?)


Our truck and van are actually in the second photo too so we were pretty high up! Think we scared away the goats as we climbed up.

Today (Saturday) we took a drive out to Camerons Corner where the 3 state borders meet.  Bun enjoyed a beer at the Roadhouse/Pub.



We've decided to stay on tomorrow night as well and do a couple of drives through the National Parks before heading off on Monday, probably towards Wanaaring because Bun's heard about some guys catching Yellow Bellys there.

Wish the Drive-in still worked! Bun looked a little lonely :))


Catch you all later
