Dubbo

Thanks for the advice. I'll look it up.Do you have a web site for your tag along tours-wait don't answer that-I'm sure you do and I'll look that up too!

Thanks Old Soldier,I tried it again and this time it worked! As iIthought it's those fingers of mine.It's a really great site and I'm sure I'll use it heaps-definitely one for the Favourites list!!

Thanks Steve. I took your advice and looked up Dubbo zoo.It had a great site complete with sound fx. To stay in the zoo would be great but unfortunately out of our price bracket this trip. It'd cost us $916 (2 adults and 3 kids) Admittedly this involved meals but still seeings this is right at the beginning of our trip........This website also led to another www.dubbotourism.com.au that had a whole list of others places to stay so thanks for help!!

G'day Liz,

i presume you are talking to me ??? :) :) :) :)

I checked the second link again and it works for me

just keep trying.

It is a very good site, and caravanners from all over Oz put in reports [good and bad] on van parks as they find them.

If you still can not get it to work email me at wallaby2002@lycos.com and I will send you a hyperlink to the site.

that should make it work :) :)

We think we might stop at that site with the link when we go through in March, but I have also heard good reports about the site right next door to the zoo.

enjoy your trip

Thanks for your tip. It's always handy to be forewarned so we can be extra diligent!

Oh Boy!!! NEVER leave valuables or money in a car!! Especially $5000!!!! NEVER carry $5000 would be even better advice!!!

We are very safe as we wouldn't have $5,000 to start with.:>) Jen

Thanks Gary for your tip. I've read that is a must see and with your recommendation it obviously will become part of our must sees too!

No,no,no,we're not that silly!lol. We plan to go Sydney-Dubbo(stay overnight)Dubbo to White Cliffs(stay overnight) White Cliffs to Broken Hill
(stay overnight)B.H.-Port Augusta.We'll take it nice and slow. The rugrats wouldn't allow anything else and when they're happy I'm happy and you know that great saying, happy wife, happy life!

Liz when at white cliffs plan to spend more than an hour there . Theres plenty to see and do a must is jocks place hes a classic bloke. He possibly might not be there if out of school holidays his wife is ill. For a few dollars each he takes you through his under ground house very interesting. Also I think its called the white cliffs wanderer he takes you on his bus around white cliffs and gives you the local history it all makes sence when he explains it to you. Theres heaps to do more than I ever thought possible.
All the best

Yes we intend on staying at White Cliffs overnight in the underground house(name has slipped my mind)and I've read about Jock in previous threads so we intend on looking him up. It'll be school hols while we're there so hopefully we'll catch him!

Hey Wayne, or is it MadMax ??? is that a black xc coupe i see in your photo ?????? Cheers BradLife is short- but there's always time for a yarda.

Hi Brad,
Its the Mad Max falcon outside of Silverton Pub.
I can't remember if its an XB or XC

Thanks for that Waynepd, it's good to know about the Big 4 cp. A few people have recommended that one and those ensuite sites certainly sound the way to go! I glad someone asked you about the car. I'd wondered about the significance of it from previous posts as well!

Thought that was Silverton, a Mad Max Mecca

Big 4 is very comfortable and they look after you there too, when in Port Augusta duck down to Whyalla, theres lots to see there and its got some aussie significance with BHP and all.

Sounds like a great trip, have a good timeLaterally Literal
