SATURDAY 1.3.2014: Driving along and we saw an older man pushing a bike laden with personal belongings. 45km and some time later we saw him again walk by - not only validated our snail's pace of travel, but also reinforced our apathy toward exercise! Stopped at Balranald (population: 1,159), and completed the domestics, then of course visited the shops. Whilst travelling we have seen so many emus that we just had to purchase a life size garden feature of mother and chicks - easily transported in a motorhome (not)!
Had planned a stop at Sandy Point Reserve Parking Area, but trees and the road surface were questionable. Instead stayed at Hay Showground ($17.00 powered site). Lang’s Crossing Place Post Office opened on 16 April 1859 and was renamed Hay in 1861. In early 1860 a brick court-house and lock-up was built at Hay (at the site of the present post office).
