Mendooran to Texas

What a day. After spending yesterday inside watching tv, due to it being so cold, I made osso bucco ( if that is how you spell it) in the camp oven. It was good and I got to use the camp oven for the first time.



I was going to get up early this morning but ended sleeping in until 8. Amazing, to be able to sleep so long. Anyhow, got going by 9.45 and decided to head all the way to Texas. It was freezing cold and the wind blowing a gale. Not much fun. So heavy driving all day and finally made it to Texas at about 4.45. I am going to stay here for a few days and organise when I should go to Brisbane. Haven't set much up tonight and will organise everything tomorrow. will post a few pics of the place also.

Here is todays travel.

Forbes to Mendooran

Today left Forbes around 9.30. What a way to start the day. Up around 7.30, breakfast and then getting ready. A lot stress. It rained most of the night at Forbes, so was really wet outside this morning.
Glad to get away and started heading to Mendooran. A nice free camp about 500mts from the town. Will go for a walk to town this afternoon and will then have a bit more to report.

A photo of my setup at Mendooran ( there is optus here).



Walked around Mendooran this afternoon, an interesting old country town. Very quiet and some interesting buildings. Thinking of driving straight through to Texas tomorrow ( Friday ) and then spending a couple of days until heading to Brisabne.

Here are some photos of Mendooran city centre.
