Howdy All,
As the title suggests, the Mrs & I are planning a wee road trip come October to catch up with some family & friends, have a break and see some of this great country of ours.
Planning on leaving
Melbourne up the Calder Hwy to
Mildura, stay a night there and continue on to
Broken hill the following day.
After around 3 days in the
Hill & surrounds, we head across to
Tottenham via the Barrier Hwy to see a friend then continue on to Parkes (yes, to see the dish lol) where we'll set up
camp for the night.
Next day it's off to
Mudgee via Renshaw McGirr Way/Goolma Rd to see where my better half was born; probably
camp the night here.
Next is on to
Lightning Ridge via Castlereagh Hwy to spend 3-4 days taking it all in before leaving for Narrabri to see the telescope array and spending the night.
Then it's jumping up through
Moree,
Goondiwindi, up through Inglewood, Warrick and through to Clothiers Creek where we have rellies.
After a couple of days there we begin our trip
home via the coast probably spending the night somewhere like Port Macquarie/
Newcastle etc before cutting back inland through the Blue Mountains to
Bathurst (never been there) and on to Boorowa to see friends. Then if we have time we'll jump down to
Canberra to spend a few days with more rellies.
From there it's across to Nowra for a few more days rest to catch up with friends/family before heading back to
Melbourne via Princess Hwy.
Now, having never been on a trip like this before I am after some advice/comments/thoughts from you guys and girls as to things we should/shouldn't do at these
places;
places we might like to stay/
camp (taking the camper trailer) or things we should see and do whilst there ... basically anything you guys have experienced on a similar trip/route?
We are taking our pooch, but are open to putting him in a boarding kennel for a day here & there if need be.
So, whaddayarekon?
