We travelled on the Castlereagh Highway until we
reached Dunedoo where we joined the Golden Highway.
We passed through Dunedoo as we had only started
travelling and didn't feel like exploring the town, though it seemed
a busy little spot.
As we climbed the hill out of town I noticed one of those things
that happen on long trips. One of the caravan windows had been left
slightly open and the curtain had escaped and was flapping in the
breeze.
I pulled over and fought 8 million and one flies, as I climbed into
the caravan and sorted things out.
The flies!!!!....Geeeez!
At the Cassilis
Rest Area,
at the top of a very steep downhill run, we pulled in
for a pee.
We later found this to be a notorious hill as it is a long slog
coming up.
As we approached the Merriwa area, the farmland started to
become green but as we looked closer we noticed it WAS green but was
very burnt off.
On the edge of Merriwa is a picnic type area with tables,
toilets and a tap. It's a lovely spot, with Poplars and
Weeping Willows. A path winds through the area. As it was
getting fairly hot we stopped there and gave the dogs a walk and a
drink. It was nice to stretch my legs while looking at the creek and
the green shady trees.
