Wyandra

Dear Family and Friends

Hope you liked the photos. they are all taken in and around Cobar. If you wondered why there are a couple of photos of a pub it is because the lace iron work along the top floor is the longest lace work in NSW.

We left Cobar yesterday around 9.30am and drove as far as Wyandra which is half way between Cunnamulla and Charlieville. They have a free camp spot behind the public school and there would have been about 15 vans scattered around the area set aside for campers, a couple looked like they had been there long term rather than short term. The scenery ranged from bushy to vast open plains.

We encountered a variety of wild life both dead and alive. They included sheep, cattle, kangaroos (mostly dead ones), emus in prolific numbers (mostly alive), pigs, foxes, goats, feral cats and minature horses. Bird life was mostly crows, hawks and eagles all eating the road kill.

The days are getting warmer, we are down to t shirts and shorts but the nights are very very cold sometimes down to just 1 or 2 degrees.

We left Wyandra about 8am this morning and have spent the day on the road travelling. We are spending tonight at Quilpie and tomorrow we will travel to Windorah which is where Barb and Laurie are living at the moment. Barb and Laurie are Lee's parents and we are really looking forward to seeing them.

There is no internet or telephone connection so I' don't know how long it will be before I blog again but it shouldn't be more than a few days to a week.

Love to one and all.

Ken and Lyn
