Forbes to Lightning Ridge

Monday 5th June (Happy Birthday Michael & Marie)

Left Forbes , cold night and cold morning, got away about 9.00 am ( we do really need to start getting going a bit earlier ) Stopped at "The Dish" at Parkes, interesting and impressive.
Stopped at Dubbo for a coffee made by a surly young girl ( coffee was surprisingly good) then Gilgandra for lunch (nice town) Mark was breathalysed in the middle of nowhere just out of Walgett (Betty from Hey Dad came from there ) arrived at Lightning Ridge at 5.30 , a bit late........ most of our fellow campers were just about ready to serve up dinner !!!!!!
 Very good caravan park , only been open for 6 weeks . It's now 9.00 pm and most of our neighbours are back from the campfire singalong and are ready to be tucked up . I think it's going to be a while before we are able to slip into this time frame.
