Well our outback adventure began today. We hit the road early and had breakfast at Hay. We checked out Shear Outback - it was pretty cool - we watched a sheep being shorn and checked out the history of shearing. Then we spent half an hour checking out the Interment camp museum at the railway station - worth a look if you are there but otherwise wouldn't bother. We headed to Hillston - I had booked a room at the pub for two nights - but one look and I knew we wouldn't be hanging around - scary pub - dead town - took us 5 minutes to see what there was to see and we hit the road. We ended up in a little town called Condobolin - friendly people - not at all scary - nice pub with meals and a very nice motel across the road. The plan is to hit the road in the morning and spend some time at the dish in Parkes then we will spend the night in Bathurst so we can drive the track at mount Panorama, after that with two spare nights uo our sleeve we might end up anywhere.
