We are in our modern on route to Tassy via "where we have never been".
Lightning Ridge... Must do
Grawin opal fields ...must do.
We have stayed in mainly free camps, after attending a Goondiwindi Drought Concert, Coonamble showgrounds, Parkes (another water pump) Lake Cargelligo, Weethalle Country Club, Griffith Willow park, Sandy Point Hay.
We are now at Swan Hill (due to no camping in the showgrounds) at a Big 4 but only $39 per night.
The wind has been 20/30 knots non stop for days, getting really sick of it as must the fire fighters on the coast.
Next route is to follow the silo art trail down towards Bendigo then over to Melbourne to catch up with relatives, then on the boat to Tassy.
cheers
Brent

G'day Mustang,
Sounds like you are travelling to some interesting places! 
Going on one of those 'silo trail' trips is on my bucket list. I've read various news stories about them being painted, and think they are a marvellous idea. Perhaps I can work a silo trail trip into the journey to the Vintage Caravan Nationals at Victor Harbor next May.
Hope you have a trouble-free trip, and let us know if you spy anything interesting along the way! 
cheers, Al.

We are now in N W Tassy, pleasantly brisk here at 12 degrees. One of the silo trails in the Victorian Wimmera Mallee starts at Rapanyup leads to Patchwollock. (or reverse) You can visit these silos in one day or easy two days. Top camps along the way at $10 per night, especially at Rapanyup & Patchwollock We bought maps from www.australiansiloarttrail.comThese towns need tourism but apart from the silo trail, sadly there is little else to offer, due to years of drought.

Well the fires are out & the floods have taken over. We have covered lots of the south & east coast of Tassy not previously seen , travelling with two/three other families is different, especially with young children. (I had intended to visit Tassy forum members, but the venues & times just didn't suit.) The wind has been relentless, (43 knots here today in the NW Coast) with the east coast & south tinder dry, no lightening storms required. We have met lots of interesting travelers in the free camps, which we tend to frequent. Tassy is a fantastic RV conscience state, majority of towns have free camps. (water availability & rubbish disposal the only complaints) The Wooden Boat Centre stole my heart, I would love to sign up for a course & build my own.  |

Although you might a bit too far north, keep a look for an aurora. The people in the know say that the conditions should be OK around now for an aurora to appear on the southern horizon.

o
Just loved the work they were doing with the wooden boats. We spent about an hour there. One day we will get back.

Just been out west to Mt Moffatt, on the western side of Carnarvon George (Not a road for classics).
Lots of travelers out there, leaving money in the towns.
