Wyandra to Bourke
22nd May 2025
Distance: 363 Km
Fuel: 54 L
I was up early and had my shower just before the sun came up – I have trouble sleeping after 6am anyway.
Breakfast this morning was one of my remaining porridge servings plus the inevitable coffee before getting ready to leave.
Have to stop in Cunnamulla for fuel, it would possible to get to Bourke without refuelling but it is over 240km with no fuel stops so I feel safer with a full tank.
It wasn’t long before I crossed into NSW. Stopped a couple of times to stretch my legs at rest areas.
One thing that was immediately noticeable was the number of feral goats at the side of the road, so many goats.
Arrived about 1pm at the caravan park, I have stayed here recently on my way back from Mitchell – co incidentally the park is called Mitchell Caravan Park.
Bourke to Dubbo
23rd May 2025
Distance: 384 Km
Fuel: 42 L
Similar to yesterday I was up early and after breakfast was on my way. Set up my wet weather protection in the camper (plastic protecting the bedding) as the weather forecast indicated a slight chance of rain. In the event it was sunny all day.
Stopped briefly in Nyngan.
Then only stopped a couple of times, quite keen to get home now.
As well as plenty of feral goats, the harvest must have been good this year because there were hundreds of cotton bails along the road
Have never stayed at this park before and had great difficulty finding it, the sat nav had it completely wrong, Google didn’t know even though it is marked on Google maps. Eventually got there after much hunting back and forth – have it marked in my sat nav for future reference..
