Nearly 600 km today, from Broken Hill to Nygan. The pic shows the van at Spring Hill where we stopped for a coffee and to give Tiffany a run. The Navara was hidden by the trees.
The council at Wilcannia are trying to promote the area as a tourist destination by making facilities available such as parks and local tourist drives. However, everyone you talk to says do not even stop to buy fuel at Wilcannia due to the high crime rate. The town looks nice, until you see the pub, the petrol station and the police station have weld mesh over the windows.
Nygan caravan park is really nice, on the banks of the Bogan river with grass sites and dolomite drive through sites. Only here for one night, trying to get to the Queensland border for tomorrow night.
The freezing cold night will continue with the forecast for Nygan being -3 C. My niece in England sent a stirring email to let me know they are having a heat wave over there.
