We decided that 2 days was enough time to view all the attractions we wanted to see in Cowra, it was time to move onto our next destination, Canberra. We planned to stay only 10 days in Canberra but ended up extending out to 15 Nights.
Picking up the van from the service centre we headed out of Broken Hill. We followed the heavy vehicle route as we found this is the easiest (but not always the shortest) way out of town. Leaving at 2pm we decided to head for the next suitable free campspot and test run the fridge on gas.
After 3 day's in Bourke it was time to head off again. Our Route will take us firstly south to Cobar then turn west to Broken Hill which is just shy of the South Australia and New South Wales border.
The time to leave and head south is upon us. We have enjoyed our stay and would consider living here but the call of family and friends is too much, so we are now into the final leg of our Big Lap Around Australia. We did have to delay our departure untill Wednesday due to cyclone Debbie. We were lucky it didn't affect us as it crossed the coast the other side of Bowen from us. It will become more of a problem for us as some of the areas we will pass through will have been affected by the cyclone.
