Queensland holidays 2011. Day one

Queensland Holidays 2011

Day one
 Home to Lightning Ridge 749km

We left home at 5.25 AM.
We left under the rain and it poured till we stopped for
 a coffee at lighgow. From then on the sun was with us.
At Mudgee we had to removed our jumpers. 21 degres.
Lunch at gilganda
I drove to Coonamble. First time I drove on 6 th gear.
I had to go at 140km/h to overtake a truck.
Coonamble, stopped for coffee and a walk.
Walgett stopped to have a walk.
Outside Walgett, Claude was stopped to be breath tested.
We did 510km on 1/2 tank of diesel, very flat country.
We arrived at 4pm at Lightening Ridge Outback Resort.

 It was not what I had expected of a RESORT.
It was galvanised iron. But still it had its charm.

on the web it said "cabin"......

 Inside the cabin was cosy and clean.
We had everything we needed.

 We went for a walk around town
and a glass of wine at the pub.
