Today we drove around 800Km from Broken Hill through Cobar, Nyngan, Warren, Gilgandra to Coonabarabran. From Broken Hill to Cobar, it was quite dry and the saltbush plains stood out. We saw very little wildlife. As we came closer to Cobar, the vegetation changed and the feral goats were everywhere. I drove after Cobar and came across a male emu with between 10-12 chicks standing in the middle of the road. I stopped and they just stood. Finally, the adult led the chicks off the road. Had to avoid a number of lizards who were sunning themselves on the road.
As we drove today, we were trying to identify the place or places that we liked best on our trip. We both found it hard as we have been to see some amazing place. We have covered nearly 18000Km on our journey – an epic for two little old ladies!!!
