It was freezing cold as we packed up camp at Cobar Old Reservoir. What a great camp spot it is. It’s a huge area with room for lots of rigs. There must have been about 30 RV’s of all types from camper trailers to pop-top vans and caravans and motorhomes of all sizes. Council provide rubbish bins but that’s all the facilities. That’s really all we needed anyway as we are self-contained with our own bathrooms and grey water tanks.

We all enjoyed sitting around the fire and discussing our fabulous last few weeks traveling. I asked everyone which was their favourite camp spot out of all the ones we’d stayed in and I was so surprised that the kids all chose Lara Wetlands and Charlotte Plains. They said it was a toss up between the two. Isn’t that an interesting result? We’d stayed in some fancy caravan parks with jumping pillows, playgrounds, water parks and pools etc and they chose camping in the bush with an artesian pool to soak in and a camp fire to sit around.

We’d ticked off a few bucket list items like the crocodile cruise, seeing Whitehaven Beach and Hill Inlet, snorkelling on the Great Barrier Reef and following the Dinosaur Trail through outback Queensland.

It was a great night’s camp for our last night of the trip. In spite of the cold the boys were snug and warm in their swags and we really appreciated our deisel heater in the morning.

We set off from Cobar about 8.45am and headed towards Mt Hope and Hillston. The road is a good one and just like the day before there were goats, goats and more goats.

It was a gorgeous sunny day for our last day of travel on this amazing trip. We stopped for a lunch break in Hillston and Pa shouted everyone fish & chips for lunch from a great little cafe near the suspension bridge. We got take away and went to the lake and for a picnic.

Back in the vehicles and all too soon we were home. Now to unpack, wash and clean, and get the motorhome ready for the next adventure.
