I drove on down to Burning Mountain and camped the night there.

I had 4 bars of 4G so in the morning I updated my website.
My knees were playing up and couldn't do the 4.6 Km walk so drove down to Scone then turned west.

Image

along the way i passed The Two Brothers

Image

Then stopped at Dunedoo for lunch.

Image

Image

I checked out the painted silo

I drove on to just past Forbes and found a likely camp spot but the three M's convinced me to carry on [Mossies, Marchies and Midgies]

Image

I kept on travelling to Tocumwal and camped out at The Pumps Beach beside the Murray.

Passed this Ute travelling along the railway lines ... not sure what it is as it was so far away.

Stopped in at Avonmore Water Reserve for a look, would be a nice spot to camp
