Yesterday,we made the mad dash through the outback from the Clare valley (Adelaide on the west coast) to Dubbo, close to Sydney, so am stiff and sore and ready for a hot tub. Lots of goats running loose beside the road which didn't slow John down from 140 km/h; however, the browsing cows gave him pause. So far the sheep have kept themselves on the other side of fences! Wish I could say the same for the kangaroos -- I was quite concerned that we'd hit a roo if we didn't stop by dark (several are hit every night), but we all made it in one piece. Left at 8:30 am and arrived 12 hours later with a short stop in Broken Hill. Straight highway all the way.
The scenery is green and red, green and red. The soils are very bright red and there's more veg than you'd expect, so just kept getting greener as we approached the Great Dividing range. We were on our way to the final wine-tasting area, the Hunter Valley.
