The Pilliga NSW

After leaving Narrabri, NSW we headed south to Gilgandra, NSW,
Along the way we had a rest in the Pilliga area which is also a National Park, no we didn't venture into the park as walking a fair distance is out of the question as we are past that!



The photos above and below are of the rest area where we got out and stretched out legs and had a walkabout.





Heading towards another town Coonabarrabran which we have stayed in for a few days in the past.
It's a lovely area coming through the mountains and hills.  There is a Telescope up on a mountain which we visited a few years ago. Siding Spring Telescope it's called and in the Warrumbungle National Park where there were bushfires a few years ago, as you can see the trees have regenerated...







The town clock in the middle of the roundabout the main street plus it's the Highway.
Below is the Visitors Information Centre which was another rest stop for us back in winter 2019.


The Pilliga NSW is that area with the red around it.

    1. Always good to get out and walk about after sitting for a fair while.
      It is a nice clock in a good place as one can't miss it.

  3. I am used to the memorial (with names) to the wardead being in the centre of town. A clock is different, and looks great.
    Isn't the Warrambungles a beautiful name? Many (many, many) years ago we had a family holiday camping there.

    1. Can relate to memorials being in the middle of the towns, especially country towns have seen many in our travels.
      Good up the Warrambungles, the range is amazing as you drive up to part of it or from a distance going down the highway - what fun to camp in those rangers way back :)

      Well I suppose travelling of this Island won't happen for a long time now, but travelling on this Island will happen when we are permitted to Nancy.

    1. That's so true. It will be a long time before we can venture off this Island David, might be never for we may not want to go again, this year we were not going before Covid-19.
