Lightning Ridge, NSW 31.8.19

Sunrise shots this morning taken at 6.30ish and the temp was 4.6°(feels like 1.1 according to the BoM)



Yvonne and I braved the cold and went to the thermal pool for a quick dip at 7.30am


What an awesome day.  We did the pubs in the scrub tour with another 8 cars & went noodling for opals.



 Pub in the scrub ⬆
We did a bit of noodling and found some potchy stuff.

 Vehicles creating dust storms
 Looking like it had snowed

 Bra tree & interesting signs at pub 2, the sheep yard inn

 Lunch at the 3rd pub, Glengarry Hilton.

 Noodling for opals.  I took an unintentional slide down the hill on my behind and found a pretty little 'treasure'

Went to the bush poet show again and the boys cooked pizza in the pizza oven for our penguin get together dinner. Followed by a campfire.

Today we leave the ridge and are heading to a freedom camp at the Nindigully Pub. We couldn't leave without a final hot dip. Morning tea stop was in Hebel, on the right side of the border 😆  The river didn't look very appealing  Lunch was at Thallon by the silos  Camped up by the Moonie river at the Nindigully Pub.  The pelicans weren't bothered by all the weeds in the water.  Art works at the pub. Friendly old fella I found on the toilet  The boys made a ripper of a fire  So we had ice creams  And toasted marshmallows Lots of campers here but still plenty of room. Today we traveled 233kms and the weather was absolutely perfect. Total of 1399kms hitched.
