Sydney to Nyngan

So, it's Saturday morning and we have to be in Perth by next Sunday. Let's go...

Packed and ready. Funny feeling there's something missing - but what?
Ah. Packed and ready, then.
First Big Thing of the trip; the big Miner's Lamp at Lithgow.
Some nice purple fields.
Woohoo. Big Thing number 2 - the Big Gold Panner. As you can see, Kim is...oh dear.

Lunch was at a fly-infested roadhouse. Nice place, good grub but the flies eventually drove us back to the car.
This is honey country and they had their own hive.
And there's all the honey. I bought a jar only to have it nicked at the WA border - bastards.
A sort of sculpture thingy - not a Big Thing unless it's a Big Weird Thing or Big Virus or something.
Proof that civilisation exists outside Sydney.
First night stop was at a motel where Brandy puts on her 'I didn't sleep in the room' face.
