8 Cobar Monday 21/4/2014

Outback New South Wales still looks like station country. It changes lush and green then dry and bare lots & lots of goats  feeding along the sides of the road this morning. They are not concerned at all about the traffic going past. Saw 2 Kangaroos, 2 Foxes.
Another beautiful day clear blue sky & sunshine.
Stopped in Cobar did some shopping found some Moscato for happy hour.

The Memorial Park has lots of information and items about the Copper & Gold mines.




Onwards towards Bourke pulling into camp at the back of a truck bay about 50Ks from Bourke. The boys decided that we were having a campfire tonight so off they went to collect wood.

Graham got his chainsaw out they busily cut wood , dug a fire pit got everything set ready to light just before dusk.
Graham took the dogs for a walk and came back with something wrapped in his hanky turned out to be a little frog Bright yellow with Black spots. A search on the internet was in order.
Here are the results with a website for you to check

Had some neighbours for the night Paul & Sharnie who joined us around our campfire were we all had great conversation. They came from Victor Harbor SA.

As Tony had used all the wood feeding the fire by 9pm it was time for bed.
