Day 2 Coolamon ? Balranald.
A very dramatic moment this morning when I couldn?t find my socks, bought especially for the trip; I knew I packed them but couldn?t find them, probably because I packed them a month or so ago. Eventually they turned up in a basket that was on top of Carol?s intimate apparel. The sigh of relief must have been heard throughout the caravan park???
We stopped an hour west of Coolamon to dispose of our fruit; actually Carol made some tomato sandwiches with ham and cheese which she toasted for dinner??.
Stopped for luncheon at the Shearers Hall of Fame at Hay for a lamb burger; certainly glad I found my socks, woollen socks there were $13 a pair and a wash and wear woollen suit was only $595?.. But not a solitary sheep in sight though and Gracie would have like to watch a dog working them. She is terrified of sheep, she met one on a leash in Young a couple of years ago?..
Vast tracts of land some as big as some small European countries had just had a cotton crop harvested, looked like snow. Massive cylindrical bales that fit 5 to a truck or 10 to a bi double and manage to disperse most of it enroute to wherever they were taking it.
Stopping overnight at Balranald River side Van Park $28 a night. The Murrumbidgee is running a banker but has dropped a foot or so. I?m feeling really really old, I remember the original lift bridge lifting.
On to Cadell tomorrow, a longish drive around 400km. We may stop enroute for a few pieces of fruit that we would eat before we have to empty all or fresh produce out at Border Village, though Carol has come up with a fiendish plan to cook and mash the potato?.
