Goulburn River National Park

Wednesday, Nov. 26
Sally and I left Mike and Jan behind in Tamworth and set off towards Dubbo. We had decided to stop for the night in Goulburn River National Park and again stocked up on plenty of firewood anticipating another cool night. We were very confused as we entered the park for there were no signs to the camping areas. In fact we drove through the park without stopping. It wasn’t until we reach the small town of Bylong that we found signs pointing us back into the western boundary of the park to Spring Gully. These camp grounds were spacious however, as there were two vehicles parked at Spring Gully already, we pushed on another kilometre to the Big River camp ground. This we had entirely to ourselves for the night.

As there were no showers here, I took a dip in the Goulburn River to Sally’s amazement, and then we broke camp and headed onwards to Dubbo.

On the way out of Goulburn Nat. Park, Sally spotted one of the largest goanna I’ve seen. He darted up a tree given me a wonderful photo opportunity.
