Camping overnight at Mother of Ducks Lagoon at Guyra was not as cold as I thought it was going to be. Only using about 60% of the fifteen thousand layers of bedding we have prepared for the Tasmania temperatures.
Trekking south west towards a camp spot just outside of Dubbo, we went through Tamworth and picked up a new camera battery and battery charger. We somehow lost the battery charger and spare battery for the camera since we last used it. Though of course as soon as we get home the old charger will be sitting in the most obvious place, never the less a new charger that runs on 12v from the car is a very nice addition for this trip.
The owner of the camera store was very nice and had a long and somewhat drawn out conversation with us while he seemed to struggle to use MYOB for the stock tracking to do with our purchase, but gave us a discounted battery, which is much appreciated.
We didn’t take any pictures on the way to Dubbo, wanting to save SD card memory space for the western plains zoo for tomorrow instead.
We arrived at the camp spot and had a good 15 minutes trying to figure out where we wanted to park the car so that it was level enough, and would get morning sun so that the canvas would dry early. We wanted to get to the zoo as soon as it opened to get the most time we could out of the day.
We had a little sausage sizzle and chocolate for desert and off to sleep we went, very excited for the zoo tomorrow.
