| GREAT WESTERN MOTEL WHICH FEATURES THE LONGEST WROUGHT IRON BALCONY IN AUSTRALIA |
SUNDAY 14.6.2015: "On the road again......", aim to reach Cobar today and we did! Nav had a driving session - Sybil had driven 50kms with not one car overtaking, no wildlife and long straight highways. Carole was buoyed with driving confidence which lasted some five minutes. In the 50kms driven some six road trains passed, we had to come to a standstill to let an oversize load pass and field upon fields of wild goats threatened to run onto the highway - the drive went well!

The Cobar district was the traditional home of the Ngemba and Wongalbon aboriginal people. Prior to the discovery of copper in 1870, the Cobar district was made up of huge pastoral holdings which relied heavily on the Darling River Trade.
The Cobar Heritage Centre/Information Centre advised that there were two free camps - because of the impending rain we opted for the Cornish Rest Area at the back of the centre which was an overnight stay.
