Homeward bound

Continuing south, driving each day for 200-300km then spending the afternoons looking around the locality.
Staying overnight at:
Surat: on the Balonne River in the fishing club grounds (fellow campers gave us some fresh capsicums they had purchased locally)
Quarry: went bush for the night
Dirranbandi: still on the Balonne River, a lovely spot, watched herons fighting for the best fishing spots
Lightning Ridge: spent the afternoon at artesian spa, very therapeutic. Learnt a lot about opals.
Dubbo: good spot by the Macquarie River, met some people from Ferntree Gully, the lady introduced herself because she saw me sewing.
Gooloogong: between Forbes and Cowra along the Lachlan Valley, a lovely outback town (they have an old church on an acre of land for sale, just the shell of an old stone building). No mention of Yvonne.
Euroly Bridge: camped in the forest on the banks of the Murrumbidgee River (lots of water running). Took a while to find the spot. We had our own campfire. It was a lovely evening.
Hay: stayed overnight at Brandon Bend on the banks of the Murrumbidgee River.
