Day 19 - The Truck has blown a shock or two

 We got bounced senseless yesterday and I didn’t put it together straight away. But after we got on the road today I realised something was wrong. It’s hard to pin down on a truck but at least the front left shock is blown, but possibly both fronts. I guess the beating we have given it has taken a toll. 


After doing the tourist thing in Lightening Ridge including excellent allpress coffee and a mine tour,




 we headed south to Narrabri. It was a slow day as the truck was hard to keep on the road. We found a farm camp beside the Naomi river about 15 kms out of Naarabri. When I called the guy to ask if we can stay, he asked if I was Michael Coates from Lithgow. It was Ian Waddell. We had a great chat and we headed out. Had his 500 acre farm on the river all to ourselves. It was lovely

  1. What a small world. The Waddell’s just lived over the road in Bayonet Street. I played bowls with May! Frank had trucks. I guess Ian’s Mum and Dad. Did you visit the art gallery?
