Well the day has finally arrived , our trip to the Tip of Australia! It's been a long wait for this day to come. We left Scone on a cool morning around 7.30am. Already had to pull up for Chalkey alongside the road as he was feeling a little 'unwell' mind you we had only been on the road for 40 or so minutes! Let's hope that was a one off. Half an hour down the track & another stop for Chalk , poor kid. After a quick stop at Gunnadah Mcdonalds to fill our tummies we are back on the road at 9.45am. Stopped at Narrabri to get some fuel $146.9 c a ltr , sat Chalk up front for a while hoping might travel a little better. We"ll see how it goes! Another quick pull up on the side of the road for Chalk , this time not pulling up quite quick enough! Lunch stop is at a little park at Mungindi arriving around 1.30pm. Back on the road at 2.35pm after a nice lunch stop & even a beer or 3! Stopped at the Nindigully hotel for a few beers & a catch up with the 'Wadwells' left at 4.20pm. If we are ever up this way we will definately be calling in again , great little pub in the middle of no where! There were lots of people pulled up to camp the night down by the river , looks like a great spot to camp & it's free. The pub had toilets & showers for the campers & it's a pub that you could easily settle in for a few! We have arrived at St George at 5.00pm for the night. Easy dinner tonight for us of leftover chinese & early to bed. All in all apart from a bit of sickness it was a good day of travelling , kids even stripped down to shirt & shorts!
