We got to wentworth drove out and couldn’t find the petrol station after asking someone we had to go back into wentworth go around the block to get into the petrol station made our way in then a car decided to beat us to the pump so our car was on the main road waiting for this other car to finish filling up. when we spoke to him he said he would be only ten minutes. I explained to him that we were towing a car and it was on the main road. He just ignored us and filled his car. we couldn’t do anything but wait and hope for the best that our car didn’t get hit. We saw an emu, 2 snakes,eagles, lambs and wild goats. We got to a rest area at 6pm.
We are now in NSW. We find these roads are better than Victoria. Kiera and I went for a walk and took photos.

We pulled over for two massive trucks with police escort

We pulled over at 4pm, Dave got tired and decided to have a sleep. We left again at 5.15. We went through Wilcannia an Aboriginal town. We decided to drive straight through and pulled up on the side of the road 15kms past the town.
