March 11th. Nyngan

Am now at Nyngan.

Left Silverton after the rain and headed for White Cliffs. Not to be, as both roads in were closed, I'm told they were closed even before the recent rain, so decided to go to Ivanhoe. No go, again the road was closed so went on to a rest area approx 60k from Cobar. Next day on to Cobar, stocked up on supplies, then on to Nyngan.

Treated myself to a stay at Riverside CP, one of the nicest parks I've seen. so I'm still here.



Love the function room which faces onto the river

At Silverton in the rain.

OK time to catch up.

Been through Mt Gambier then spent a 4 days in the Barossa valley area. Caught up with some fellow CMCA Forum members at Eden Valley, nice people.

Left Barossa and spent 2 nights in Renmark then traveled on to Broken Hill stopping at Popitah Lake (no water then). Caught up with some friends, new and old, who were on the way to Albany for the Ulysses AGM.

Am now in Silverton and looks like I'll be here for a couple of days at least. Since I arrived we have had copious amounts of rain and the creek (usually dry) you have to cross in and out of town is flowing a banker , about a meter at the moment, and the run-off around the bus at present is about 50mm so I'm almost marooned on a little island right now. Will have to wait 'til the rain stops. Next day: Now that the rain has stopped the creek is starting to drop.
