Day 5 Thursday 7th July 2011 Nyngan to Moree


Today we travelled through the Macquarie Marshes and stopped at Willie Station, an eco tourism type facility (and a working station). Our drive from Willie Station included our first water crossing, about 50 metres long and 0.3 metres deep. We all came through without any problems! Not far beyond the crossing was a large viewing platform, looking across an area of the Macquarie Marshes where many birds came and went. Somewhere on the dirt road today we shed a wheel trim, which ultimately turned out to be not a bad thing (but more of that later). We arrived at our night’s stop, Moree, in time for Nigel to enjoy a dip in the thermal springs at the caravan park (but not me, I’m not a fan of TOO much hot water).

Wow, the marshes look remarkably like Sydney does at the moment! I'm impressed the pug made it through. :P
