Scrub Stitchin’ - Travelling Home

After a simple lunch on Sunday it was time to pack up everything and ship on out.  We didn’t have very far to travel, as we were staying with Miss Jules that evening.  It wasn’t a fast drive, as we had to travel mainly on gravel roads.  It was however rather scenic.

We spent a very pleasant evening around the camp fire.  Chooky and Mr Chooky, as well as Kylie were also there for dinner.

Frank looked quite settled for the night.

After a leisurely breakfast we were back on the road.

More dirt roads to start with.

I seem to have a thing for bladeless windmills this trip.

A quick stop in Gulargambone to check out the sculpture.

A coffee and cake stop in Gilgandra.  This sign out the front of the news agency alerted us to the fact that there was a coffee shop incorporated into it.

Out the back there is a lovely garden area. Behind Mick, that man is chatting to a couple.  We heard the voice and immediately recognised it.  Mick’s aunt and uncle from the north coast were sitting there having coffee.  We had seen them a few weeks ago as they passed through Bathurst, so this was a lovely surprise to catch up with them again on their way home.

By early afternoon we were back home and starting to unpack the van.  It had been a fabulous week away.  Scrub Stitchin’ is definitely a highlight of the year.  We can’t wait to do it all again in 2025.
