No rush today to get away, leaving the Yanga Creek Rest Area around 10:30Am. Our travels took us across the Hay Plain which is normally dry, and dusty except for the rice and cotton fields. Not this time.
With all the recent rain, the place is very green with standing water on the side of the road and all the creeks full. We even didn’t see any kangaroos along the road, dead or alive, which is unusual for this run.
The roads have not weathered the rain well with a lot of damage and pot holes.
We did see some animals today. A farmer was moving his sheep along the highway north-east of Hay to take advantage of the abundant grass available on the roadside.
Our digs for the night was the Ace Caravan Park in West Wyalong. We had a great grassed site but unfortunately the mozzies came out enforce at dusk so couldn’t take advantage of the site.
Only 380 kms of travel today with fuel of $1.629 at Hay.
