DAYS : GOLD COAST TO HOME



16 November 2010.  Left the Gold Coast and that night free camped 50kms south of Tenterfield.  It was a pretty spot beside a lake but it was raining heavily and we took no photos. The next night we free camped again about 40 kms south of Coonabarabran at a place called Hickey Falls.  These falls (above) are just off the main highway and were a torrent of water after all the wet weather.

 Wildflowers abounded everywhere...........











18 & 19 November, 2010 - Dubbo.   We spent two wonderful days here exploring Dubbo Zoo....
