Day 162

So had a really nice nights sleep and woke up to the sun shining into my tent and the noise of birds chirping in the trees. Not bad. Was ready to roll at 8, as google maps told me shortest way to Sydney was through a town called Menindee that's where I was heading. There are two big lakes near Menindee and it's the town at the start of the Darling River. Checked out the lakes which were cool but as usual many many flies. I think there were big rains two weeks ago and the flies
are out in force. From Menindee I was heading to Ivanhoe, I didn't realize it was a dirt road but turns out it is, 200km of shity dirt road woohoo. The other bad part was today was very warm, driving on dusty roads I keep the window closed so it doesn't suck dust in, was uncomfortable. From Ivanhoe 50km of highway and then another 100km of dirt to Hillston. From there it was onto the Western Hwy to West Wyalong. Only eventful thing of the day occured when I stopped to take a photo of the water that was covering the ground next to the road. Pulled a little too far off the road and got stuck, after a mintute of trying I managed to get unstuck but it was a close run thing. From West Wyalong Ive driven about 20km and now I'm camped by the side of the road. Touch wood I
should be home come tomorrow afternoon.
