Tikitour day 7

We left Lightning Ridge about 7.15ish to head for West Wyalong, about 7 hours driving.

We resolved to drive and not to be distracted by water towers but....

Guess what! #1 we found, but we were quick and back into the car we went.

Our next stop was for an Adventure Lab in Gulargambone.

Lots of art around the town

Lots of these galah on posts all around the town

Loved this painting

This man was called Leaky Simpson,  he was the local plumber!

The eyes are amazing!

More John Murray art.

This was on the door of the quilt/wool/haberdashery shop, sadly now closed down. But lots of stock inside.

And lastly for this town a beautifully painted water tower.

On to Dubbo and these paintings were at the Info Centre

Off to make some dinner now.

Happy stitching.

Tiki tour back

We have been heading back down south via some Adventure Labs

We went to the Dubbo Botanic Gardens for the Adventure Lab and started in the Japanese garden

Then off to the dry garden

Back thru the Japanese garden to the Sensory garden

The entrance to the Sensory Garden

We got a cuppa from Press as recommended by Kylie then went to the Yummy Yarn shop also recommended by Kylie, some spending happened there 🤭

Then off we went to Forbes to finish an Ad Lab there

The last place was at the war memorial.

The view was stunning.

We continued on our way, our trip was a little longer as the navigator (me) took a wrong turning and we had to navigate our way back to where we were supposed to be

A small traffic jam on the road

I am off to sort some dinner.

Happy stitching.

Tiki tour in reverse

Sadly Baradine is over, will do a show and tell post or three when we have better internet. Yesterday we drove from Baradine to Dubbo.

Last look at Camp Cypress

Hippopotamus Rock between Baradine and Coonabarabran

These planet models are along the highway and each has a geocache, so we had to stop 😁 thankfully Raewyn found it as I was about to give up.

The view out the window as we were driving

The next cache stop complete with orb spiders

I had to yell stop to Raewyn to stop her walking through the edge of a huge spider web. She was trying to get a better angle for a 📸!!

We found these painted screens in Gilgandra, while stopping for a cache.. they depict the history of the area.

We are now in Dubbo and today are heading off to the Zoo .

Have a good one.
