Next we stayed at Parkes. We arrived on Saturday and stopped at the first Caravan Park we found. It was very basic but cheap and the amenities were clean.
We went to the Information Centre and found out what we could do there and about church services.
The next morning we went to the Anglican church which was having a family service.
after morning tea we went to the Museum where there was an Elvis museum and a car museum.
These were very interesting.
Later that day we went to the Dish and bought some souvenirs.
Our next night was spent at Lake Wyangan near Griffith. It was a free range site with very little grass and lots of reddish dirt. There were toilets there but a long way from where we were parked. It was on a hill and was not easy to find a place that was reasonably level as the level spots were already taken.
Nevertheless we had a restful night.
The next morning being Saturday we were woken up with the sound of vehicles launching boats. It is obviously a great lake for fishing. There was a paddock with some deer and a donkey near where we stopped and they were very friendly.
We travelled to the border between Victoria and New South Wales. Just over the border is Lake Malwala. The caravan Park is connected to the Ski Club and they had an Italian restaurant and a Chinese one. It rained the first night but was fine the next morning and stayed that way for the rest of the time we were there. There was a small museum within walking distance and we found the people very friendly and informative.
