Personally, as interesting as the organ pipes were, I was impressed by the absolute straightness of the edges of the fallen rocks.
Back in the car, we made it into Narrabri with ample fuel to spare, and then it was off in search of the night's accommodation, the Poet's Cottage at Pilliga Pottery.
Most of the drive took us through Pilliga State Forest, and the turnoff, around 25 km north of Coonabarabran, leads onto around ten kilometres of corrugated unsealed road that twists and turns through the forest.
The outside signage described it as a scenic drive, which I thought was stretching things a bit unless you were a seasoned off road four wheel drive enthusiast, but the Pottery, when we arrived, turned out to be an interesting, isolated and eco-friendly establishment.
Given the state of the road, one doubts there'd be too many visitors at the Blue Wren Bush Cafe, and one suspects that shipments of outgoing pottery would need to be carefully packed if they were going to make it out to the highway.Still, once we were in the Poet's Cottage, everything was fine, provided you're willing to forego the use of extensive electronic gadgetry, which we were, and we're set firmly in the early to bed camp, so it's not like we were going to be burning the midnight oil.
That's a significant consideration since you're probably out of mobile phone coverage, even with Telstra (at least that's true for the SIM card in the iPad) and the property, being in the middle of the Pilliga Forest, is off the power grid as well.
