We packed up and left Tamworth heading for Dubbo. I had planned to stop at the historic Werris Creek railway station, but hadn’t expected to see a passenger train stopped at one of the platforms. Services run to Central and Armidale, and out to Narrabri. Unfortunately passengers were off the train smoking on the platform so I didn’t loiter. There may have been more than the usual number of passengers because a union-won period of free travel doesn’t end until midnight tonight.
We passed through several small villages at different stages of their ANZAC Day marches, and decided we should have taken two days to do this interesting drive.
When I walked Tilly in our Dubbo caravan park she attracted a crowd of kids. Later when they tried to pat Blue, I had to tell them he is scared of children. There is another poodle nearby, but it was a fleeting greeting between them. Tilly and Blue have been part of our family since ANZAC Day 2020.
There are no great views from our caravan park but I did catch this sunset photo. Weather forecasts suggest there may be heavy rainfalls here in central NSW and outback Queensland. On our drive I enlisted my navigator to take some photos of the interesting cloud formations.
