Following on from fixing the car after the little up close and personal from the neighbour I decided to take it for a drive. I need to go to Queensland for a visit, so why not take the Count for a bit of exercise. So with some plotting and planning decided that on the way up may as well visit some of the Silo and Water tank art on the way. Well actually none of it is technically on the way and some of the locations are well out of the way to get to. To get to most of the ones I want to see it involves quite a lot of extra kilometres that wouldn't be necessary if going direct and it would take less time too, though that isn't the point of a road trip is it.
First day plan is Melbourne to Goorambat Silo art, then into the Winton Wetlands for the CFA water tank art. It is then onwards to Chiltern for s look as I haven't been before and then over the Victoria/New South Wales border and off to Walla Walla, then through Wagga Wagga and Junee to Harden for more Silo art and on to Grenfell for yet more Silo art.
That was the plan anyway and mostly followed that path, though it went off track there due to lack of accommodation options and fuel, the plan was amended to head out to Forbes and Parkes for somewhere to sleep. Had hoped to get further, though all the back tracking between art sites and travelling at 80k's tends to slow thing down a bit.
On to the photo progression of the trip:
