SUNDAY 14.10.2012: Yet more olives, cheese and soap at the ever so quaint River Flats Estate. We headed down the Golden Highway (akin to the Yellow Brick Road), to Denman - it was amazing to see "behind the native verge" and the extent of the open cut mining. Visited Denman which was first sighted in 1824 by surveyor Henry Dangar who named it Mt Cupola (for its domed shape). It was renamed by explorer Allan Cunningham, who became the first European to climb it the following year. Settled in for the evening at Cawsey Rotary Park Free Camp. As it was only listed as a roadside stop we did feel a little uneasy, but decided "we could handle it!" Whilst toilets were indicated the "bible" neglected to note it was a designated area rather than a building! The "brave hearts" were tested at 2.30am when the Council garbage truck pulled in next to us and emptied the m-a-n-y bins. Shayden and the humans remained on high alert - Madison slept through the entire event! |
