Our fun with the van and little sojourn into the Australia Telescope had left us a little behind schedule. We were supposed to be at Siding Springs for Lunch. Oh well, no plan was ever so good that it could not be thrown out if better ideas come along.
We got to Coonoobarabran at about 3:30pm and headed up towards the Telescope. On reflection and we decided to head to the Warrumbungle National Park camping ground and go to Siding Springs in the morning.
Warrumbungle National Park is a place that deserves a lot more than a quick visit. The entire area was devastated a year or two ago by massive bush fires and is still recovering. The visitors centre was destroyed and is currently a temporary atco hut. Fortunately the amenities block with HOT!!! showers was not damaged and after we had set up the van we retired to wash of the dust.
The view from the camp site was spectacular.
