Isn't this pretty? It is the Cootamundra Wattle.
Today we left Condobolin and travelled to Forbes and then down through Grenfell to Young and then to Cootamundra. We have not been this way before. There was a couple of rough patches on the road but on the whole it was good. Even the emus thought it was worth crossing! It was very windy all day and we often had small bits of trees blowing across the road and dropping onto the rig as we passed and by the time we stopped for the day we were being blown all over our half of the road. I was pleased to finally arrive and get off the road.
The country looks wonderful, paddock after paddock of cereal crops so thick you feel you could walk over the tops without touching the ground. The area is mostly flat but with a few slight rises which are good for scenic views of the area.
The welcome was warm and a free sausage sizzle for happy hour was great. Most people in the park participated and there was very lively chatter. We found out that there is a licorice factory in the next town only 50 km down the road so have decided to stay an extra night and do a day trip tomorrow to take the tour of the factory. Himself is extremely partial to licorice!
