 We needed to go here to do maintenance on our caches and also do the ad lab there.

The park has changed since we were there last, the entrance is through the side road and they have converted one of the three cabins 8nto the office, not sure why. It's run as a mum and dad set up, think there is 12 sites and quite a big area for camping. There is a pool and a small enclosed area for dog off lead. They offer doggy day care for people with a dog who want to visit the Warumbungles national park which is about 30 KMs away.

Walked the town to do the ad lab, it's a very old place one of the earliest town in NSW. We had to make Lucy walk on the road because there are some many bindis in the grass. The park has spent a lot of time and money getting rid of the bindi plants thank goodness.

Mural on the toilet block, every month the townspeople would do a rabbit run, this was just after the second world war. Money and food were scarce and rabbits were plentiful. 

Old pepper tree, these were always around when I went to school but now it is rare to see them.

The first airstrip in country NSW.

Very horsey town.

This horse was being kept in the church yard, we had a cache there and he was very interested in what we were doing. It was attached to the black top and dropped inside tied with fishing wire. We discovered it on the ground in next paddock. We think the horse has chewed the top off. We fashioned it a little different so he couldn't chew it,

We saw two horses being exercised like this, car driving slowly while the horse walked. It is a very laid back town, no shops but does have a pub and a post office in a back street. Also an operating police station, what an easy job although only four KMs off the highway, I would imagine they do some highway patrols.

Mum and foal in paddock by main road, when the mare turned her head to look at me, I saw she was missing an eye. Many of the homes had either sheep or a horse or two in the back yard.
