Day 22 – 9,556 KM. Town 37. Molong, along with much of New South Wales, was enjoying much needed rain when I called by. The town sign announced the its formation in 1822 and that the population is 2,135 (I wondered who updates this figure?). Driving through the town...
Day 22 – 9,395 KM. Town 36. The rains continued to pour as I travelled from Narromine to Tullamore partly along unsealed track which always makes the journey more of an adventure. Tullamore was initially settled as Bullock Creek in 1870 and then was called Gobondery...
Day 22 – 9,309 KM. Town 35. I guess I was a little late up, at least compared to other travellers, as I was informed by the Gulgong motel receptionist that I was the last guest to check out. However it was barely past 8.30am, so I don’t feel too guilty for the...

Day 20 – 8,797 KM. Town 32: So far I have found some fantastic places that have only been linked by the fact they are included in the lyrics of a song. Whether a small country town or the nations capital there has always been something of interest worth discovering....
