Today was all about parks, a railway station and streets of mural art.

After towering silos and hidden lakes, painted tanks and stormy skies—we ended the day where history hits the road.

Day 25 – Artesian Pool, Caravan Life, and Heritage Walk
Today we started with a hot bore, got a peak at life on the move, and walked into history. Let the adventure continue.
-
Day 24 – Mine Shafts, Castles in the Sky
Today’s sightseeing was split between shafts in the ground and castles in the sky.
-
Day 23 – Sunrise Sculptures, Mr Oxley, The Big Emu
Today began with sunrise on statues, climbed sky high, descended into endless straight and flat roads, before ending in a confrontation with a giant bird.
-
Day 22 – Bourke town, people, bridge and interactive museum
Today we explored Bourke — its main street, the people it’s contributed to the world, a marooned lift bridge, and the excellent Back of Bourke interactive museum.

Day 21 – Beside the road, Fort Bourke Hill Lookout, Greater Cobar Museum
Today the drive offered up a classic outback mix — goats on the loose, camera-shy emus, and roads that act like rivers. We climbed high to stare into a miner’s abyss, and then dug into Cobar’s dusty history. Let the adventure continue.

Day 20 – On the Road, Black Stump Hotel, Lake Woorabinda, Hillston Suspension Bridge
Today we wandered right up to, and then beyond the black stump, found a quiet lake tucked in the heart of Hillston, and crossed a bridge that wobbled just enough to keep us awake.
Not every adventure has to be big — but it continues anyway.

Day 19 – Banna Lane Murals, Centenary Sculptures, Hermit’s Cave
Today we tried to visit a lake we couldn’t reach, a national park we couldn’t drive to, and sculptures that didn’t want to be found. Somehow, we still ended up with murals, a hidden cave, and finally, a victory.

Day 18 – Shear Outback, Museum, Hay Water Tank Art, Dunera Museum,, Bishop’s Lodge Historic House
Today began with a grand tour of Hay’s closed attractions. But just when we thought the day was a write-off, a shed full of flying wool turned it into a classic. Let the adventure continue.
