On the road again to visit with a landholder along Corinda Way Road. Lots of sun (about 31 degrees C). We saw more roos, a wallaby, lots of emus and LOTS of cattle along and on the road.
The cattle picture was taken while Bill was driving 110 km!!
The stations (or ranches as we would call them) had sign posts like this one at the end of a LONG lane to their farm. For us to find this station, we had to watch very closely how many kilometers we had travelled from one road to the next. We were OUT, way out in the bush. The road was very narrow, only one lane. We didn't meet many other vehicles but when we did, you just moved to one side and kept up the pace of 110 km!!
After this interview, we were on the road again to Narrabri through the small town of Corinda. We stopped in Walgett to each lunch in a little park (we had packed some cheese, crackers and fruit). More small towns to Wee Waa on the Kamilaroi Hwy and then to Narrabri.
Stayed at the Atalong Motel because the motel we had booked through a travel agent had booked us for the next night. No worries (as they say in Aussieland). They found us another place to stay. The motels in these small towns are booked through the week because of road crews who stay and work on the roads. I did notice that they don't have the amount of people standing around. There were only a couple people working and 2 flag people (sometimes didn't have these). They were hats with netting because of the flies.
Had dinner at the Narrabri Bowling Center. Not bowling as we know it with pins but more like bocci ball. Played outside on a green, several different teams rolling the bowling balls from one side to the other trying to get as close to the small white ball as possible.
Back to our room to write up our interview reports and then sleep. Lots of driving. We're tired.
