We left home not long after 7am and stopped for the night in Parkes about 7pm. G kindly did all the driving and my job was to be a well-behaved passenger, which seemed to involve consumption of a lot of "sometimes foods" (although I'm sure the vanilla slice from Ouyen bakery was highly nutritious) in an attempt to avoid feeling sick from car travel or from overheating. At Goolgowi the car thermometer said it was 40 although that's probably an overestimate. Surprised to learn that Goolgowi was only settled in 1923, after the railway line to Hillston was completed. East of there the vegetation's still nice and green - lush even - since the September rains and between West Wyalong & Forbes still quite a bit of water is lying around in paddocks and billabongs.
