After our New Zealand trip, we have developed an appreciation for road trips. Having travelled overseas a couple of times with the girls, we decided it was important that they see some of Australia too. We are lucky, our girls are accustom to long range road travel, having visited Townsville by car every year of their lives.
We had our first taste of a non-Queensland road trip early this year, with a quick trip to the Dubbo and the zoo. We enjoyed that trip, but thought next time we would visit further south, perhaps Melbourne.
So this morning we set out 8.36am (early by our standards) for Forbes. We went to Moree for lunch via Goondiwindi continued south through Dubbo. We ended stopping in Parkes NSW, just 30 minutes short of our target. Watched some interesting jet vapour trails that actually glowed a red colour in the setting sun. We we hope they were jet vapour trails :-)
Staying at the Spanish Lantern. Quiet a pleasant motel and a bonus second bedroom for the girls. Quiet unexpected for the price. Eagle boys fed us for tea.
Hoping for an earlystart (real one not Marendy) in the morning and aiming to get to Bendigo to see the sights hitting Melbourne late afternoon.
Charlotte has a blog at: charlottesblogspace.blogspot.com for a teenage perspective of the trip. It is nice to know our house is being visited daily by friends and family, thanks, it makes going on nice trips much easier.
