Barringun to Narromine Macs Reserve

Woke up to a brisk breeze and slowly packed up whilst chatting with a truck driver that had pulled in over night. An inquisitive goat wandered over to test the grass near us and Sam got to pat him with the help of Gaz. The goat liked being scratched on his head in between his horns but looked like he could bunt Sam at any time.

We drove into Bourke and stopped at a bakery for pies and coffee then continued on to Nyngen where we stopped for wine and fuel. Then onward to our destination of Macs Reserve described as bush campsites along the Macquarie river. We got to the reserve and found the sites down near the river had lots of rubbish and the long grass surrounding the sites were covered in those prickles that cling to your clothes so we went back up to near the road and entrance tithe reserve where there was a bit of dirt and grass but clear of prickles and set up there.

We got a good fire with a good bed of coals and Gaz cooked up the Porterhouse steaks on the grill.

Another cold clear night with the stars out in full and the moon almost full a beautiful sunset again and full belly nice wine then snuggled up in bed.
