We have struck another nice mid western NSW town who are interested in attracting the travelling public. Condobolin is a small town about 100km West of Forbes they have a great free camp spot right beside a constructed lake. There are free hot showers, flushing toilets and plenty of town water for your tanks. There are shady sites which cater fo all sizes of caravans, motorhomes, Busses and tents.
Leaving Dubbo we headed south towards Parkes. The headwinds were quite strong so we pulled over in a rest area about 45kms down the road. Storms were predicted for the NSW regions the rest area was bitumised so if the rain did come down through the night we would not get bogged and be able to continue on as long as the road was clear.
Left the Dubbo Big 4 caravan park early this morning we even set the alarm in case we slept in boy was that a culture shock. The caravan was getting the TV Antenna repaired and a service we wanted to make sure we got to repair shop on time.
Dubbo has a number of major highways which pass through it making it a hub. The Newell takes traffic from Melbourne to Brisbane the Mitchell takes traffic from Sydney to Burke on into Western Queensland. There is also the Sunshine Highway which goes from Dubbo to Newcastle.
From Lightning Ridge we are now heading towards Dubbo where our TV Antenna will be repaired. We tried to book in to a caravan park in Dubbo unfortunately for us the school holidays are on as well as the weekend was a public holiday so there are no vacancies for another 6 days, we had to decide what to do until then.
