Burren junction - Brewarinna

Beds on Barwon We left Newcastle at a reasonable time on Friday morning not gadgets ( my husband) usual 4am start and headed west. We really never planned this trip out as such we vaguely decided that sitting by a river with a fire was our plan , a chance to take a deep breathe and slow down our lives for a bit.

Almost 13 years ago we were extremely fortunate to do the darling river run with some wonderful friends and thought that we would love to repeat that trip and hopefully see the Darling river with water this time.

However at this stage our plans are a little up in the air with the road to Louth currently closed due to rain and some of the national parks closed for the same reason. Soo where are we heading , not sure but wherever we are heading it will be an adventure.

So on day one we drove to Burren Junction where we spent our first night of our adventure at a truck stop

This is our new travelling Duo Reggie ( car) and Ruby ( van) we decided last year it was time to say goodbye to Bridget , she went to a lovely family, and after ordering Ruby realised that our faithful prado just was going to work too hard to towing Ruby , so we upgraded to Reggie

We woke in the morning with a massive truck beside us

Again after a not early rise we travelled the remaining few hours to our first destination

Brewarrina

We were heading out along an unsealed road when we decided we wanted to make a U turn , went a little to far on the edge and boom

Ruby had one wheel bogged , still cursing myself for not taking a photo

Luckily Reggie had 3 of its wheels on solid ground so with a little bit of backwards and forwards she was out and we were back on the road.

As luck would have it , we discovered a lovely place to stay Beds on Barwon and Ruby our glamping van is set up for a two night stay ( maybe we will see how we feel) .
