Are we There Yet?


Final goodbye to the official start of our holiday and now we are trekking off into the 'real' part of our camping adventure. A big day of driving to Wagga Wagga and freezing when we arrived!  Less then two degrees overnight and ice on the camper when we woke up. Imagine us standing outside the camper having our breakfast and we could not feel our toes or fingers!
An overnight camp near Hay then onto Balranand for supplies and clothes washing in the local laundromat. Already !

Great to be heading into outback NSW and big horizons. Destination - Mungo NP. Such an amazing place to visit. We had a look through the historic Woodshed, 'pirate ship' (also known as a viewing platform but perhaps more aptly named by Savannah), the lunettes (or 30km wall of sand dunes), a short walk (short not by choice, as you can imagine with two restless kids) and playing in the sand dunes.
It is so Great to see the kids spotting 'emoos', kangaroos and the moon. Magical Full moon while at Mungo. The emu has become a bit of a theme to our trip so far. Many, many repeats of John Williamson's 'Old Man Emu' song while driving in the car.
Thank goodness for play dough , cars and bubbles for quiet times while in camp.
The temperature has started to slowly warm up, but we are getting the hang of sleeping in cold temps overnight.
