DAY 6 - 23/02/2010 - Dubbo, NSW

We didn't leave Lake Keepit as early as we wanted and the drive to Dubbo took longer than first estimated.

We arrived in Dubbo around lunchtime. The girls handled the drive surprisingly well.

Our decision was to go straight to Dubbo Zoo and get a 2 day pass. We drove around the zoo track today with the intention of hiring the bikes tomorrow. It was the hottest part of the day so probably not a good time to view animals as most were sitting in the shade or sleeping. The Zebra's and the Giraffes were pretty cool and so were the Rhino's. We were up pretty close to these animals.


We set up camp at Dubbo City Caravan Park. We found out later that afternoon that 2 days ago some campers had been robbed while they were asleep in their vans. Cant say that I would be in hurry to visit Dubbo again. The caravan park was located on the main road through Dubbo and adjacent to a reserve. High fences with barbed wire surrounded us. We made sure everything outside was packed and locked away to avoid being stolen. The aerial is still not working so while the girls were asleep we got our tele fix and watched the news in the camp kitchen which was beside us.
