Around Lightning Ridge

Checked out a few things we didn't see on our last trip.

     Mel & Susie entertaining us every afternoon with a different show, they are great.

                                 The Penguin convoy ready for a bush drive to the 3 pubs in the scrub.

                                                        Racing Emus'

                                        Rough old dirt road on the way to the 3 pubs.

                                                    Stopping for a good reason ?

                                                      Where we found our first opal.

                                                              Heading to the next pub.

                                                                         The Bra tree.

                            We had a couple of enjoyable nights around the campfire.

                                                                  Visited an opal mine.

Moree to Lightning Ridge

Back in Lightning Rdige.There is something about this place that really appeals to me, but I am not sure what it is.
This is the second time this year we have come to this remote town, the last visit in May..

                                                           Artesian hot pool at Moree.

                                                                    Moree breakfast.

                                                                  Collarenabri.

                                                  A really big emu made from VW beetles.

                                             Its a ????? at Lightning Ridge.

                                                                Lightning Ridge

              Night time with the Penguiners, we snuck in with them & pretended to own a penguin.

                                                                          A Trifid.

                                                   Really hot artesian pool at Lightning Ridge.
