DAY 9: COONABARABRAN TO MOREE

A sunny day and a new map, we are on the road again. Today the landscape changed from a monotonous yellow ochre to an endless Fred Williams painting of trillions of trees with thin trunks and a blue-green foliage. The Pilliga National forest swept on Kilometre after kilometre and finally broke out into paddocks growing crops of safflowers and cotton. Skin loved the yellow of the safflowers,day 9 024day 9 036 but was a bit worried at the darkening sky and the huge transport trucks passing by at  a great speed.

Eventually he went to sleep as he saw the endless road in front of us.day 9 033 When we arrived at Moree, we both relaxed at the artesian waters. I floated in the pool while Skin ate a piece of watermelon and an avocado on the edge. day 9 047

day 9 045One lady took him in for a quick dip, but he held tight to his fruit!

Skin would like to say hello to Benjamin and Nanna Peg AND also all the children in grade 3/4 at Konwak Primary School.
