Rutherglen Adventure Tuesday 3 April 2012

I had an early start at 6.00am and was soon at Gilgandra where I stopped for petrol'  I drove off north into the sunshine and took what I though was the road to Coonabarabran but after a few kilometres began to think I had missed my way.  There were no big road signs but the kilometre posts were ticking down to C - for Coonabarabran I thought.  I was wrong it was Coonamble but now I was committed.

The actual route

This little detour wa across country using minor roads which were in a bad state due to flooding.  It was a real adventure but it added over 70km to my journey.

By the time I got to my overnight stop at Goondiwindi  I had covered well over 600Km.  I decided to stay at a motel near the main street and had dinner at the nearby hotel.
