6th April
What a crazy day! Eventually got away but only as far as Tamworth after dark so stayed in a cabin that night. At least we were on the road.

7th
Up early (freezing) and headed for Broken Hill- 1030k west. It was a long day but we stopped between Warren and Nevertyre to watch cotton being harvested by picking machines and made into big round bales. They used to put the cotton into huge rectangular "modules" but very few of these were still being used.
