Broken Hill to Cobar

We left a foggy and cold Broken Hill and headed towards Cobar. It was about 5 ½ hours drive today.  It was fairly uneventful, very straight and the weather conditions were very suited to towing a caravan.  We pulled into Wilcania for petrol, it’s a bit of a scary place.  We didn’t stay long and we were back on the road again.  About 2 hours out of Wilcania, two police cars waved us over to the side of the road as a wide load was coming from the other direction.  We pulled off to the side as far as we could and this big red spool on the back of a semi trailer came past followed by another police car.  We’ve seen kangaroo and lots of emu around the Flinders Ranges and Broken Hill, but this part of the trip we saw lots of goats.  I don’t know if they were wild but they were at the side of the road and could do some serious damage if they ran out in front of your car.  Heading up towards Queensland tomorrow.
