Thursday, 28 April
Thursday morning didn't quite see is up to catch the sunrise, but we weren't far off after a night that, in Bowen terms would have been classed as chilly, on the verge of winter but in these parts is probably par for the course as far as April and May are concerned,
A quick glance around the other centres on the Weather app revealed 10.1 was about par for the course where we were headed, and a quick check around the same as I sit tapping away at six on Friday morning doesn't reveal as much about Coonabarabran, but suggests 7 in Canberra and 6.3 at Orange Airport. Fortunately we've packed the winter woolies (such as they are).
But, as is so often the case we're getting ahead of the narrative, which at this point involves a skimpy breakfast, at least on Hughesy's part, followed by the ritual packing and stowing of everything we'd lugged inside the previous night. One day, doubtless, we'll get things together as far as this traveling caper is concerned, to the point where we can grab just one bag each, with maybe a box of essentials and the esky, leaving most of the stiff in the car, but that point is still some time in the future.
