Left the Cobdogla, SA. Area caravan park continuing my
journey to Canberra. More rain and the driver side wiper is leaving a streak at
eye high. Stopped and got that replaced. Not a highlight of the day but the
wettest.
Not much traffic for a major highway so was able to take my
time and take in the scenery, go down some side roads. Crossed the border of
South Australia into New South Wales, (NSW). Much different than Western and
most of So. Australia. Terrain has gradually changed from flat to rolling
hills.
Farms around here are on average about 4000 acres I’ve been
told. They actually look like farms; buildings, homes, fences, tractors, etc. Unlike
the 300,000 to million acre ranches seen in the states of Northern Territories
and Western Au where you are lucky to
see a fence. Crop farmers here, mostly grains, the only thing I recognized was
Canola. Wineries; some huge, grape vines as far as you can see, some small with
as little as 30 acres; they call themselves “Blockers” because they have a
small block of land. Lots of green pasture,
Black Angus and some sheep too. Easy to look at!
Didn’t get far today, Hay, NSW. Drove about 400km, about 250
miles. Staying at the local caravan park.

Slept in this morning, too many beers last night. The couple
camped next to me invited me over for a beer. We drank theirs and mine and
solved most of the world problems. They were from Victoria. They were concerned
about Donald Trump and the gun toting public. They didn’t know much about
Hillary C. but heard plenty about Trump. The Australian news machine is much
like most of our own. Reporting only what favors who they think is best. Didn’t
seem to bother them when I explained I was part of the gun toting public.
Managed to stop at the Altina Wildlife Park. Huge place
where animals from all over the world can live in an environment familiar to their
species. Tour was a bit of walking but most from a comfortable open sided trailer
pulled by Draft horse. An interesting
afternoon. Back on the road about 1500. Heading for Wagga Wagga, NSW. 155km, 1 1/2 hour drive.
